Smoothie Goes Tropical

Girlfriend loves anything tropical... That's why we're getting married in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands! Tropical paradise!!! Saying "I Do" on a private beach seems right out of a movie to me but its going to be my wedding!!! :) So excited! 

Today's smoothie was a reminder that we are getting close to our 5 month count down until the wedding. July 3rd... EEEK! 5 months!! What happen to 6 months? Was I so into this squat challenge I squatted my way through June? Yes!!! And my ass and legs are thanking me. 

It's also a pretty big deal when my BFF/ neighbor drinks a smoothie... Her husband mentioned wanting to try one so of course I made extra and brought them a cup before church. She said it was very tasty and her hubby even liked it too. 

Neighborhood Smoothie Queen right here!!!! 

Y'all enjoy! 

••Prepped baggy••

• 3 whole strawberries

• 1 handful of spinach

• 5-6 pear chunks

• half a banana 

• 5-6 green grapes

• 2 fresh squeezed orange/ lime juice cubes 

• half of the carton of Tropical Greek yogurt (see picture for brand) 

• 10 oz of water

I prefer to add my Greek yogurt and juice cubes last. Remember I don't like my smoothies chunky or thick so I blend for a while to thin it out. 

Hope this smoothies takes you a tropical paradise too! 

Cheers!

Margarita Smoothie

The title says it all... MARGARITA!!! I have made one every day this week now since making the first one. It's the amazing taste that keeps me coming back. 

Y'all remember the ice cube trays? Well, turns out fresh squeezed lime and orange juice mixed together and frozen taste like margarita mix! Holy hell what have I discovered? It's amazing and delish!

Get an ice cube tray ready to make margarita cubes! I bought mine at the Dollar Tree. It came with 2 for $1 which means I bought two sets. :)

In a bowl squeeze 1 lime and 3 oranges. If you prefer to add another lime it will be super sour so be prepared. The lime and orange juice mixture really is perfect for summer time too. 3 oranges and 1 lime made enough juice for one ice cube tray. You could calm it down with adding water but I already add a lot of water to my smoothies so I went with the fresh squeezed juices. So yummy!

Pop the tray in the freezer and go on like normal. When you're ready for your smoothie just pop 1-3 ice juice cubes in the mix and get ready for flavor explosion!
