Talk about refreshing, If I closed my eyes and drank this smoothie I would believe I was sitting right on the beach! So simple yet so many flavors bursting with every sip…this is how you do it:

Blend together:

2 Cups Coconut Water
1 Cup Strawberries
1/2 Cup Cranberries

This works best if you use frozen fruit, if you don’t have frozen just add ice!

If you are planning on having some drinks tonight, you want to add these items to your list of things to pick up at the store before you head out to your big New Year’s Eve party. You will thank me later.

*Coconut Water
*Bananas
*Chia Seeds
*Honey

I suggest freezing the bananas tonight so they are ready to go in the morning. If you forget, just add some ice to your smoothie to make it nice and icy.

When you drink alcohol you get very dehydrated so the key to curing a hangover is re-hydrating your body and replenishing with the nutrients that you lost.  Coconut water is amazingly hydrating and bananas contain a lot of potassium which helps replenish the potassium that you lose drinking alcohol. Chia seeds, like honey are natural antioxidants which are great for your overall health and will help you feel back to normal in no time.

If you are going out tonight be safe! And stay hydrated!

Green Smoothie

I was so excited when I found a straggler of a pre-packed green smoothie in the freezer today! I’ve been slacking lately and thought that I completely ran out until I found the final pack in the corner of the freezer. Despite the snow on the ground I easily mixed up my green smoothie and enjoyed a refreshing taste of summer!
