Smoothies!!!

I was at a fitness camp recently and learned that smoothies can be healthy and yummy! What a shocker! Also, you don't have to pay the outrageous prices of Jamba Juice. All you need is some ice, juice, frozen fruit (preferably organic) and mix-ins like protein powder (I used a soy protein mix with 25g of protein), Spirulina (green/blue algae), wheat germ, etc. I laugh because in the past, this all looked like sewage to me, but it actually tastes good. I'm excited to finally put my Vita-mix to good use as well as offer my family a healthy after school snack. Who doesn't like a fruit smoothie?! Also, I discovered "whole grain" Fig Newtons. What a great alternative to cookies!
