This week for breakfast, lunch and a snack I am exclusively drinking smoothies. I am going to try out all different combinations that we have in our smoothie cookbook and come up with my own combinations. I am even going to make some vegetable drinks. It is kind of fun and a good cleansing for the body. Yesterday I made the following smoothie. It was so delicious! You could even serve it at a party!
2-3 pears (fresh or canned)
¾ cup of orange juice
Juice of ½ a lemon
6-8 mint leaves
Blend in blender until smooth
*You can add ice if you wish it to be slushy. I add at least a ½ cup of low-fat vanilla yogurt to most of my smoothies, you don’t have to with this one, it does not call for it but it would be fun to try it out. Yogurt gives s smoothie more substance which is helpful, especially if it is all you are having until dinner.
