Smoothies!

I love sitting out on the deck in the springtime. As if gets warmer it's always nice to have something to sip on to cool off. Smoothies fit the bill perfectly! Full of flavor and good for you, they are the perfect way to relax and enjoy the day. There are literally hundreds of different ways to make a smoothie. Not only are there many different fruits, but almost as many veggies that can be added. If your program allows for an extra Veggie, try adding in a peeled and seeded cucumber or a serving of carrots to you mix. Cucumber is bright and refreshing and carrots bring sweetness. And then there is Kale. Many people swear this is the best breakfast food. What will be your favorite?

Pick which smoothie you want to make and add cut up fruit into a blender.

Add water and Ice.

If your blender has a "Frozen Drink" setting use that. If not you will need to pulse the blender until the mixture starts to come together. Then run on high for about 10-15 seconds.

If you want it thicker, add more ice, thinner add more water.

If you need a little bit of sweetness, add a teaspoon of honey.

Pour equally into two glasses. One for you and one for a friend. Or you can store the other one in the fridge for a few hours.
