It's time to shake it up!

There is nothing more refreshing than a nice fresh fruit smoothie on a warm summer day. I personally love pineapple and mint smoothies with a lil crushed ice to make it cool and refreshing. You can never go wrong with the classic banana & strawberry combo...but try and mix it up with some blueberries or fresh champagne mangoes (mmmm)! For an alternative to those prepackaged protein smoothies try a scrumptious banana, almond and peanut butter shake. Add a tiny bit of non fat strained greek yogurt (FAGE is my personal fav) for a boost of extra protein. This way you stay away from all the protein powders with ingredients that can't be pronounced (yuck) and they taste like sidewalk chalk anyway, who wants to drink that? Keep it real and fresh. That's a pretty good motto to live by ;) So mix it up and have fun. It's finally summer, as soon as this rainy patch passes I'm sure there will be lots of blazing hot sunshine to soak up and sip on ice cold treats. Speaking of cold treats, I know frozen margaritas don't count as smoothies, but a girl can dream (at least they are blended!).
