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!

I love smoothies and will try your recipe! My mom made me a ton of smoothies during my maternity leave and you are right, they do give you a boost in the morning. Oh, and Autumn has been waking up at 3:30am every night for a week (minus one night)... ugh, I hope this ends soon as she won't go back down right away. I want her to sleep through the night again soon!
Yummy!! That's something even I can have :) Thanks Mel. Hope you get some rest, Carrah is going through the same kind of sleep funk.
I know all too well about sleep deprivation! My 11 month old still nurses 3 times per night..I haven't had a full night's sleep in over a year...But I know this won't last forever..
Also was going to add that I made your dirt cake recipe...YUM YUM.. was a big hit..especially with my 15 yr old. But man is it SUH-WEET ! Sugar overload! :)
