Wow, it has been a while! Matt & I spent our 3rd anniversary in Vegas and absolutely loved it. We ate some amazing food (which I’ll share later), walked a ton, and came out on top on the slots. I’m back with a breakfast treat that works anytime, really. Cucumber is so refreshing–it’s in salads, a replacement for potato chips, and sliced and chilled in water. Why not put it in a smoothie??<\/p>\n

<\/a>Berry Cucumber Smoothie<\/span>
Serves 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup orange juice (or a large splash)<\/b><\/span><\/span>
1 cucumber, sliced into 1-inch rounds<\/b><\/span><\/span>
6 ice cubes <\/b><\/span><\/span>
8 strawberries, tops off<\/b><\/span><\/span>
2 medium bananas\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span>

<\/b><\/span><\/span>
Blend all ingredients in that order. Serve immediately and garnish with strawberry.<\/b><\/span><\/span>

<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The cucumber taste is very subtle, and the strawberry blends it pretty well. So easy, so healthy! Don’t worry about the semi-high amount of sugar…it’s all natural! (no white sugar here, so your blood sugar won’t spike) I drank the smoothie 2 hours ago, and I’m still quite full.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>
Matt & I were so glad to take a trip like that…but I think Sam missed him…a lot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Tuesday, friends!<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
