Summer Smoothies

This whole getting healthy thing can be fun!  Don't get me wrong, it's tough and I fall off the band wagon from time to time, but summer really helps me focus on getting outside and being active.  What better way to cool off from the hot summer sun then to throw back a tasty-HEALTHY- smoothie.

I've never been a vegetable girl.  I wish I were, and when I see others eating salads I get jealous.  I've tried to like vegetables, but they just don't mesh well with my taste-buds.  This smoothie will blow your mind with how good it is...and how good for you it is!  It's sneaky, because you don't even taste the vegetables!

What you will need:
-simply orange with mango juice.  Seriously...it's fabulous!
-lemonade (the perfect summer drink)
-baby spinach
-baby carrots
-blueberries
-strawberries
-water (to make the smoothie less thick)

Okay, pour about half a cup of orange juice and a splash of lemonade into the bottom of blender.  Add a heaping handful of baby spinach (rinsed of course).  Add half a cup of baby carrots, blueberries, and then another heaping handful of strawberries.  The measurements can vary according to YOUR taste-buds.  I really like strawberries, so I use a lot!  Now blend away!!  As you're blending, add water to make it less thick...or if you like thick smoothies, keep it as is!

                                                                  Finished Product!
                                 The blueberries and strawberries turn it a nice shade of purple!
