Avocado Mango Smoothie
Whew! If I was complaining about having a cold Memorial Day weekend, the last two days have made me shut my trap. New Jersey has been hit by 90+ degrees of pure heat. It feels like a sweat lodge…so much so, that I’ve been “forced” to spend long lunches on the beach...
Banana Pomegranate Smoothie
Woa. As soon as I sat down to write this shpeal, I realized I hadn’t posted a smoothie recipe since last February! That’s crazy. It’s time to change this drought! So…this weekend I made a delicious smoothie with banana and some pomegranate juice (I’ve been on a pomegranate kick all year and...

Growing up, my mom always used to tell me I didn’t eat enough fruit….so I started blending fruit with ice cream, milk, or orange juice to make her happy. I fell in love with tropical fruit smoothies during the summer, so whenever I need a burst of summertime, I whip together one...
Blueberry Lemon Icy Smoothie
I don’t like eating big breakfasts…so when I eat in the morning, it needs to be light and something that won’t weigh me down. Because of that, a quick smoothie is great…especially when it’s really icy. I’m trying to get more blueberries into my diet, so I thought a blueberry smoothie would...
