most people in NY end the day with a night cap, however in our house we end it with a refreshing fruit smoothie. smoothies are a fun way to get in your fruits, or veggies along with whatever you think might be nutritious. when i was working on my cholesterol i would always add some cinnamon, flax seed etc. when we were working out (working out is like a bad relationship in this house, on and off) we would add protein..... it's endless, and completely up to you! Anyways, here is a good base to start with, and you can change it up as you please! have fun with it, it's all about taste.
(PS: those are organic chives in the vintage chicken pot)
step 1: you'll need these supplies...
2 cup organic frozen berries
1 organic banana (peeled of course)
1 cup frozen (or canned) organic pineapple
spoonful organic honey
H20 or apple juice
organic lemon juice
step 2: measure out 2 cups of frozen fruit
i used 1 cup blueberries, and 1 cup strawberries...
step 3: add peeled banana
step 4: measure out 1 cup pineapple
i get mine from Trader Joes: "Frozen Pineapple Tidbits"
Organic of course
Step 4: slip in a splash of lemon juice (don't get crazy with it though)
only like 1 tsp - this is when you add the honey (spoonful to taste)
step 6: add some water or apple juice and blend it up
this makes enough for two, but if your a pig like me
you can have it all to yourself!
