Talk about an incredible weekend filled with lots and lots of everything! Gardening, wedding decorating, flower planting, re-arranging of the patio everything, playing in the pool with gck-1, and then there’s all the normal life stuff like laundry and dishes and picking up toys… whew! I’m exhausted!

And of course… there were smoothies. Lots of them.

Smoothie 1:

1/4 cup strawberry yogurt, 1 kiwi, 1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple, 1/4 cup frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup canned sliced peaches, 1/3 cup mango chunks, and 3/4 cup crushed ice. I didn’t add any juice because the peaches and pineapple gave it enough juice.

This smoothie was pretty high on the kiwi tasting scale. I had no idea how much flavor was really packed in just one little kiwi! It was almost on the tart side because of it but it just fell shy. Still tasty, just needs a little tweaking.

Smoothie 2:

2 bananas, 1/2 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, and 3/4 cup crushed ice.

I asked B what kind of  smoothie he wanted and he’s an easy one to please :) This was strictly a strawberry banana smoothie which is funny because before I asked what he wanted, I already knew I’d be making it just like this. He said it was amazing and he liked the taste of the bananas in it. I wish I would have added 1/4 cup more of the strawberries. The banana flavor was rather full but it didn’t seem overbearing to me. Overall, a really easy smoothie to make if you don’t have much on hand.

Smoothie 3:

1 banana, 1/4 cup frozen blueberries, 1/4 cup frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup strawberry yogurt, 1/3 cup canned sliced peaches, 1 orange, 1/2 cup pink lemonade, and 3/4 cup crushed ice.

Over the weekend I actually had my first guest smoothie taster. My friend who got married on Sunday was the first person other than me and B to taste my magical goodness. And she loved it! She downed the whole thing!  I added a little bit of everything because I wanted to give her the best boost that I could since she hadn’t eaten breakfast and probably wouldn’t eat lunch, she would definitely need it!

Are you ready for a giveaway? I am. Well almost ;) You and I will both be anxiously awaiting tomorrow morning… that’s giveaway time! June 1st. Great day to hold a giveaway!
