Drink. Watermelon Frosty! ..or Margarita. I've been planning on making this Watermelon Frosty recipe for a while now.

Watermelon Frosty! ..or Margarita

But it seemed every time we had fresh watermelon in the house it was gobbled up in just a few hours. Fresh, juicy watermelon has that instant gratification effect on people. Kinda like freshly baked bread, warm oven cookies, hot pizza or a bowl of cherries. It begs to be tasted. Now. Hot Saturday. Smoothie Tip! Watermelon Frostyserves 2 2 1/4 cups frozen watermelon cubes 1/2+ cup water 2 Tbsp maple syrup 1 large lemon, squeezed (lime juice also works very well!

Greena Colada Smoothie

The blender was a gift to my husband from his loving wife… and I will never, not in a trillion, million years, live it down!! It doesn’t matter that he had been saying for a year that he wanted it. It doesn’t matter that he is the healthy one of the family. It doesn’t matter that he is very disappointed if he doesn’t have a green smoothie every single morning now. Frozen Coconut Limeade.

Cocktail Hour: Grapefruit Mojito & Chicken Satay

;) Central Iowa tapped out at a toasty 78 degrees again today, which inspired me to whip up a refreshing, ice-cold Grapefruit Mojito to sip on while making dinner this evening. Now, you might think you don’t like grapefruit. Trust me, I get it. I used to feel the exact same way. My 93 year old Grandma has had half a grapefruit sprinkled with sugar for breakfast every single morning for as long as I’ve known her, and whenever my family visited my grandparents in Ohio growing up, I’d ask for the other half so I could be just like her, even though I secretly loathed the bitter, acidic taste of grapefruit. This is it! Despite the cute little spoon with serrated edges she’d give me to loosen the segments nestled inside the fruit, and the heaps of sugar I’d pour on top, I could never get past the pucker-inducing flavor, and usually aborted the mission after a few scoops.

Orange Dream Milkshake. Orange Dream Milkshakes As a kid, I always loved orange creamsicles.

Orange Dream Milkshake

I hadn’t had them in a while, and while browsing the ice cream aisle with my son, he pointed and screamed for the orange popsicles that looked like lizards. At the discount grocery where we were shopping, the store brand orange creamsicles had pictured on the box the cartoon head, feet and tail of a little bright green lizard. My son was instantly attracted to the cute lizards. He’s obsessed with the little guys. We went through our orange creamsicles way too fast, and I wanted to make something else that had the same flavor, so I thought milkshakes would be the perfect thing.

"One Good Thing" by Jillee: Sassy Water! I'll Drink To That!

I am always looking for ways to be a better water drinker…but I never actually DO it. I’m really not sure what my block is (other than the fact that I drink WAY too much Diet Coke!) …but I really do struggle with this! So when I heard about Sassy Water…I decided this was made just for me! Sassy Water is named after Cynthia Sass co-author of the New York Times Bestseller “The Flat Belly Diet”.

Sex, Cigars & Booze Lifestyle Magazine - StumbleUpon. Green Monster Smoothies. Interesting title, huh? This is part of Judah’s breakfast practically every morning. Judah is a great eater, but I have found it difficult to get enough green veggies into him each day. He loves carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, etc. But, when it comes to the leafy greens, I just can’t figure him out. It was a while ago that I first heard about the Green Monster movement . I love that the spinach is evident by a beautiful green color, yet doesn’t impact the flavor of the smoothie hardly at all.

Judah drinks an entire travel cup of this every day and still asks for more. You can use any type of leafy green, but I’ve found spinach is the least taste altering. *Note: You can basically use any combination of frozen fruit, however, if you use other colors like red raspberries or strawberries, your smoothie will turn brown. Handful of fresh baby spinach Handful of frozen diced pineapple Handful of frozen sliced peaches or diced mango.
