  • 1/2 frozen pineapple
  • 1 Mango
  • 1 cup papaya juice
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave (optional)
  • 3 ice cubes
  • 1 tbsp flax seed oil
Green Smoothie
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 carrot
  • 1 handfull broccoli
  • 1 handfull spinach
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 3 ice cubes
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, strawberries, grapes
Bluorange Julius
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Combine, blend, enjoy.

HELP!!

I have been captured by the dreaded Cable TV with free Showtime/HBO/Cinemax 3-month preview and I can't escape!!! Please send snacks, knitting supplies and lots of water. Seriously tho... I am not working out, I am bored often, it is too cold to be outside for extended periods of time, and there is no Bikram studio for 100's of miles. What's a girl to do?
