Citrus Pineapple Melon Smoothie

Happy Friday!

First of all, I really appreciate everyone's comments and sentiments in yesterday's post. Talking about my very personal battle with estrogen wasn't easy and I wasn't sure I wanted to put it out there. But reading your feedback last night reminded me it was worth it. In fact, it was therapeutic. It surprised me how many of you related to my issues and even had similar issues of your own. Anyway...thank you! Now let's get ready for the weekend.

Aren't summer weekends the best? I really love them even if it is a thousand degrees outside. I think you guys do too and I can't say I blame you. I've noticed these last weeks that blog stats have taken a dive on Fridays.

I noted this trend last summer and wondered if I should stop blogging on Fridays during the warmer months. If I did, it would give me more time to catch up on administrative things, develop content, work on my photography, pitch to brands, oh yeah and to live life!

Funny how we get so caught up in doing the things we love that life can be put on the backburner. I've gone back and forth trying to figure out what's the right thing to do. Part of me thinks if I stop posting on Fridays that people will stop coming and forget to come back during the winter.

Consistency is key in blogging next to content of course. Since I read this article, I've had this question in the back of my mind. Ultimately I've decided to stick with Fridays, but keeping content short. Still, this will be a question I'll have in the back of my mind. Even more so as I begin to work on future projects. I've got a few plans up my sleeve for next year. 😉

So let's get on the short train and talk smoothies so you can get your summer on! This was inspired by my Healthy Pineapple Melon Smoothie. That smoothie has the most God awful, ugliest picture yet, somehow has exploded all over my social media. Last month I added all my recipes to Yummly.

I signed up for Yummly a long time ago and forgot about it. Oops! I added a few recipes to test the traffic. I immediately got tons of traffic so I added the rest of my recipes. Since I did that, Yummly has been my number one traffic referrer since.

That Healthy Pineapple Melon Smoothie has over 355 yums in just two weeks, the highest number of yum's of any of my recipes. If you're familiar with Pinterest, yum's are equivalent to pins. The soar in traffic inspired me to redux the recipe and boy did I ever.

I swapped one ingredient between the two to make a lighter, low calorie citrus version that I just know you'll love. Your body will love it too because it's packed with vitamins. Now I'm off to redux those ugly pictures. Happy weekend!

    Megan, I can't tell you enough how much I loved your last post. It's about time that stuff was put out in the open, and feely talked about. I think every fit female I know has gone through it! I think that taking a break on Friday's is something you should definitely try - I stopped blogging twice per week (went to once) during my vacation, and it surprisingly didn't hurt traffic as much as I thought. On that note, I am definitely going to give this a try!

      Good to know about the blog stats! I might starting taking holidays and vacations to start then take it from there. We all need a break every now and then.

    I HATE carrot juice. This recipe seems so much more palatable than carrot juice alone. Thanks for the tip!

      I'm not a fan of carrot juice alone either, but mixed with citrus it's very good!

    I saw my Friday posts dive too so I am not posting on Friday unless I have something really great to say or just I want to - I am so behind in general that I need that time for other things. 🙂

      I thought about stopping, but then getting people back might be tough so I just keep doing it. Smoothie to me is a cookie to you. Happy weekend! 🙂

      Melons are forgotten about when it comes to smoothies, but they're so good. Have a good weekend friend!

    Looks delicious! I have noticed that with Fridays too. I have noticed they are quieter in general, but there is a serious dive in the summer. I hear you on the dilmena. Glad you decided to pos though because the smoothie looks great. Thanks for suggesting Yummly. Will have to check it out. Enjoy the weekend!

      I figure if I stop, it would be really hard to get readers to return in the fall so I just keep doing it. Let me know what you think about Yummly.

    Friday is still the same. I wish my job offered summer Fridays but unfortunately it does not. I use Pinterest a lot for recipes, or other blog sites. Some of my favorite recipes have also come from Vegetarian magazine : )

    Happy Friday! I just started using Yummly, but as you know, "I'm scaling back" and for me personally, it's been wonderful. I will have to try out this smoothie, we have both melon and pineapple on hand, so this is going to happen this morning. Hope you have a great weekend. Thank you so much for the shout out. xo

    I just started with yummly and also have noticed how big of a referrer it is, so thanks for that! I have also had he same thoughts about Friday, but ultimately like sticking with Friday as a recipe day since that means less overall writing and I do the work part earlier in the week. Plus, then the recipe is out there! Have a great weekend 🙂

      I'm so glad you tried Yummly. It been my biggest referrer every day since I signed up. It's really easy too compared to some of the others that you have to submit a specific request only to get rejected. Blah. Have fun in Seattle!
