Strawberry Smoothies

1 banana (frozen)

1 cup frozen strawberries/blueberries
½ cup vanilla or plain yogurt
2 cups orange juice
handful of ice

You can make this smoothie higher in protein by adding some tofu. This would make a good post workout shake too.  The tofu will also add as a slight thickener like the banana does.

Apple Cider

Anytime that I have apples that are going soft or partially used apples I always toss them in a pan with some cinnamon and nutmeg and let them cook down with some water. The smell in the house is amazing and although it reduces down by atleast half I save it in freezer bags and toss it in the freezer for later. I use apple cider at a drink, marinade or in different recipes and I know exactly what is going in my mouth. The real thing!!

Tea

Warm Lemon Water

The acids in lemons, oranges, grapefruit, and the like, aids in digestion and helps to detox your body. Start off your day with a cup of warm cirtrus water and enjoy the benifits.

Lemon Mint Water

14 ounces of water
Ice cubes or frozen water as 1/4
Handful of fresh mint
2-4 slices of lemon
