Pink color-changing treat

Happy Monday, Friends!

I’m really loving this whole smoothie for breakfast thing. However, my crazy-loud blender wakes the neighborhood when I make them in the mornings. (Sorry, entire community of Hewitt.)

But this is the easiest way to throw anything healthy and fruit/veggie-related into my body in a timely fashion. I get, literally, 3 cups of produce in each tasty smoothie. And they’re so simple. Party in your mouth!


Pink Party Smoothie
*makes 2 2-cup smoothies*

7 ice cubes
2 bananas
big handful of strawberries (tops off)
small handful (1/2 cup) blackberries and/or blues
(optional) 1 TB flax seeds, chia seeds
3 cups fresh spinach (raw & rinsed)

Direcciones:
1. Toss the ice in and let crush a little.
2. Toss the 2 peeled bananas and berries in (and optional seeds).

                               *Now here’s the fun part*


From PINK…

 to GREEN!!!!

Now you may never want to look green–for obvious reasons–because you’re either the Wicked Witch of the West or a little sickly.

But a smoothie? Bring on the green! You get your alphabet of vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, & K) and get added energy in a straw. Could I be any more nerdy excited?? Ha, probably not.

So, dear friends, there you have it.

A pink-turned-green smoothie to start your day on the right track. (Just don’t wake the neighbors with your own crazy blender!)

Happy Blending!!

FAKE BEACH SMOOTHIE

While there are the lucky few who are able to get out of bed, walk 10 steps, and step out onto a balcony with a beautiful beachview at their fingertips, if I do such a thing–wake up, get out of bed, walk 10 steps–I’ll end up running into my sleazy used car salesman neighbor named Tony, always yelling at his kids, with a 2-year construction site in his backyard. The view is no good here.

But this is the last week of classes, so why not celebrate with a SMOOTHIE?

My version has:

150 calories
No fat
No added sugar
3 CUPS per serving!

Fake Beach Smoothie
1 banana
1 orange
6 strawberries
1 mango
1/2 cup plain fat free yogurt
Splash of skim milk
Handful of ice

Peel fruits and slice down to manageable pieces. Blend until smooth and voila! a healthy, tropical, tasty treat.
