I haven’t been feeling very motivated to make the usual recipe videos lately. It’s a lot of editing. It sometimes requires making the recipe multiple times, to get all the pictures and video. It means I can’t bake after dark (which comes so much earlier now!). And frankly I think you know how to make applesauce without a visual guide. I’d rather spend more time on the pictures and more time making new recipes.
But I still want to make videos, just simpler ones. That might mean more low key recipe style videos, but this week I filmed a little what i eat video and had some fun with the editing. It features a lot of snacking (because that’s just how I eat) and a lot of smoothies. I didn’t realize I loved smoothies till about a month ago, but since then I’ve been drinking A LOT of them! It’s getting a little out of hand. But they are so easy. And yummy. And digest super well (always a bonus!).
What I eat in a day…
I don’t usually post on a whim like this, writing the post just minutes before hitting publish. This feels a little weird to me. But good weird. Spontaneous weird. I need to be more spontaneous. 
Do you ever get a little smoothie obsessed and want to drink them for all your meals?
Smoothie pouring never looked so sexy! This should be made into a full length major motion picture! And apple towers! Hot damn! And two posts in one week! Your are blowing my feasting on fruit mind! Although I think we should call you feasting on smoothies 😉 xoxoxo
75 mins of smoothie pouring on the big screen, I can just see it now 😀 haha The apple tower was a happy accident, when I tried to recreate it for the photo it took me like 20 tries to get them to balance again. I hate to say it, but I think I have left the anti-smoothie club :/ Thanks girl <3
Love the video! It’s so fun 🙂 I also get on smoothie kicks and want a smoothie for every meal sometimes. It seems like I either don’t drink them at all or can’t stop drinking them 😉 what do you think of the Square bar that you showed? It looks yummy and I’m thinking I should buy some.
Thanks Mel! Oh I’m sure I’ll burnout on the smoothies eventually, everything seems to go in cycles that way 😀 And Squarebars are amazing!!!!! I defitniely recommend them, I just tried them recently and am in love. That’s the mint one and it is probably my second favorite. The chocolate crunch one is my absolute favorite. They kinda remind me of a 3 musketeers bar or something, but with protein. They are quite sweet though, just so you know. Haven’t been able to find them in store, so I ordered mine on Amazon.
Awesome, thanks! I think I’ll just buy a few to try since I often find things too sweet for my liking.
Nooo I don’t know how to make apple sauce when you don’t provide a video!! Just kidding, but you know I’m a big fan of your recipe videos! I really enjoyed this one too, it’s so interesting to see what other foodies are eating 😀 I’m completely the opposite with smoothies – I never would sacrifice a “real” meal for a smoothie 😀 But hey, maybe that changes too. I’ll have to give them a chance more often. I loved the rewind-parts in the video – they made it look so modern and cool 🙂
LOL I’m so sorry to leave you lost and applesauce confused 😉 haha And I used to be the exact same way! Like “No I love chewing too much for smoothies!!” Don’t know what changed really, melon season ended and fruit got less good so I made the switch I guess. I can’t go without some sort of fruity meal! I had lots of fun with editing, thanks for noticing 🙂
It’s amazing how quickly the darkness of the evenings creeps up on us at this time of year!!! I always get so used to all of the extra light we have in the summer months! Love that you were so spontaneous with this post Natalie, the video is amazing too! Smoothie heaven!
Ugh I know, darkness makes things so much harder! I just made a pie at like 5pm and now I have to wait till tomorrow to photograph…fingers crossed it still looks okay by then :/ Thanks for watching my smoothie madness 🙂
Yay for spontaneity! <3 Love this vid. So fun to see what people eat 🙂 And I can't believe even my muffins made an appearance — I feel special now hehe 🙂 Thank you! I love all the smoothy-ing and banana-yness and fruity-ness — if I had my way, that's what I'd be eating all day too, but since I share meals with my husband who *sigh* hates all those things, I can only get away with those as a breakfast or snack…
I’m so in love with those muffins it’s a little crazy! Like I could be the spokesperson for them, just telling the entire world about their awesomeness 😀 You and I would do very well sharing a kitchen, bananas and creamy things and fruity-ness all day long!
Super cute video Natalie! I loved the music…how long does it typically take to edit your videos? Do you use a certain video software editing program to edit them? You are just like me, I eat lots and lots of potatoes, which probably is no surprise to you, haha!
Thank you my fellow potato lover <3 I just use iMovie to edit, I really need to learn Final Cut Pro but that's $300 and a lot of time that I just can't spend right now. I have Adobe Premiere too, but haven't bothered learning that either. iMovie can be annoying, but it works. This one probably took me 6 hours or so, but I did a lot of text and the photo collage at the beginning and all that extra stuff. If I just did the straight video nothing fancy it would probably only be 1.5 to 2 hours. That might sound like a lot, but I'm a perfectionist I can't help it.
