#NewYearNewYou - The Skinny Confidential Book Review & #GIVEAWAY

Disclaimer: I received The Skinny Confidential book for review & GIVEAWAY purposes.  I was not requested to write a positive review.  All opinions are my own and I have received no monetary compensation for this post.  

When the wonderful Brittany suggested I get in on the Skinny Confidential book tour, I was a little skeptical.  What do I have in common with super fit, super skinny and super disciplined Lauryn Evarts?  Turns out, quite a lot!

Reading her book is like chatting with a girlfriend...after a couple of Blood Orange Skinny Margie-Poos!  Check out page 52 for this awesome recipe.  

The ingredients in this drink are so fresh and yummy.  Secret ingredient?  Rosemary!  Don't tell!  Lauryn is like that girlfriend who will tell you like it is.  Like if you have a booger in your nose.  Or if you think about reaching for margarita mix.  Like she says, "No artificial shit.  Absolutely none."

So I thought about what recipe I wanted to share and I decided to save the recipes in the book for you to read when you buy it.  I though I would highlight a family friendly recipe from her blog to give you an idea of her type of fresh wholesome recipes.  She has a couple of really kid friendly in the book like Peanut Butter "Ice Cream" and Berries over Ice.  But I thought I would share one she has on her blog right now for Pineapple Whip (kinda sorta like the Dole Whip at D-Land!).

It has 5 ingredients.  That is it.  No artificial anything!  My kids gobbled it up! I will show you my version but you can't poke fun!

I made it in 5 minutes...if that.  Frozen pineapple chunks from Trader Joes, almond milk, honey!  I also made a version like Lauryn's with mint and lemon but that picture is super ugly!  Okay fine.  Here.

But it was so good and tasted like a pineapple mojito!  So I highly recommend checking out her book.  She tells you in her awesome friendly style about makeup, fitness, recipes and even love!  Seriously, it is like a chat with your bestie!  My hands down favorite thing in the book?  She thinks split ends rule!
