WATERMELON & COCONUT SMOOTHIE

Nothing beats a sweet, juicy, and perfectly ripe watermelon in the summer, am I right?! Too bad you only get those gems about 30% of the time. Usually they are just ok. And sometimes they just suck.
What do you do with all that 'not so tasty' fruit? You freeze it and throw it in a smoothie of course!

WATERMELON COCONUT SMOOTHIE

Throw the following in a blender:
2 ripe bananas
2 heaping handfulls of frozen watermelon
1/2 cup or so plain organic yogurt (I use stonyfield)
Enough coconut almond milk to make it the consistency you prefer

popsicles  |  margaritas  |  sorbet  |  lemonade

And... IT'S FRIDAY! Happy Labor Day weekend! See y'all on Tuesday! This girl will be spending the weekend at Taste of Madison and on a pontoon boat! Yippee! 

PEANUT BUTTER, STRAWBERRY & BANANA SMOOTHIE

YES! I am CRAZY for smoothies! They are such a healthy way to start your day. You get your fruits in and the protein from the peanut butter keeps you full. Here is another one of my favorites! It is a little more shake-like than the last one I posted.

PEANUT BUTTER, STRAWBERRY & BANANA SMOOTHIE

Two ripe bananas
Organic plain yogurt (about 1/2 cup)
Frozen strawberries (about 2 large handfulls)
Organic natural peanut butter (about 1 heaping table spoon)
Milk (normal, soy, almond....whatever works) (about about 1/4 cup)

Put it all in a blender, blend and enjoy!
Makes two 16oz smoothies.

Note: I never measure ingredients. The above measurements are guidelines. You may have to stir ingredients in the blender a few times between blends to get it to all blend together. If it is too think, just add a little more milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
