My pick-me-up . . .

Mariele is going on two nights of some kind of crazy sleep regression and it is turning me into a zombie. So this morning I decided to make my favorite fruit smoothie. And since I have been in a recipe sharing kind of mood lately, I thought I would post up the recipe. This fruit smoothie never disappoints. It gently lifts me up and wraps its fruity arms around my weary and sleep deprived body. Okay, I admit I may be having a few delusions and hallucinations here brought on by my sleep deprivation. But seriously, this smoothie is great. It is packed with antioxidants and good omega fats and lots of good vitamins. Try it today!

Mel's favorite fruit smoothie:

Blend the following ingredients together:

2 ripe bananas, chunked
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1 6 oz. strawberry or peach yogurt
⅔ cup vanilla soy milk
3 TBSP Flax Seed
6-7 ice cubes

The recipe will yield 2 tall glasses and one short cup.

This morning I just eyeballed the ingredients. Used only 1 banana and only blueberries. It gave me 1 tall glass for myself and one short cup for Analese. This is seriously thick. Analese eats hers with a spoon. I drink mine with a straw, but it takes some work!

OK, gotta go hit The Little Gym now!
