Frozen


Brain Freeze!

Fill the Tupperware container
insert stick, secure lid, and
FREEZE!

Wait for it, wait for it...
Introducing the Smoothie Brain Freeze Pop!

Left over smoothie? Freeze it.

You'll pat yourself on the back for how smart you are when you open up your freezer on a hot, humid summer afternoon.

Imagine, you just finished mowing the lawn, sweat is dripping down your back. You go inside, and head towards the freezer. You swing open the freezer door, and anticipate a quick rush of cold air hitting your sweaty self. Nice. Then you open your eyes and REALLY see how smart you are. Your eyes bug, you smirk, nod your head, and reach in with satisfaction!

Aaagghhh!! One frozen smoothie brain freeze pop left, and it's all yours, thank you very much!

Mr. Smooth, Meet Ms. Smoothie

SO easy and SO good.

Add 1 tablespoon of flax seeds
and water, blend
drink.

Nothing like a little berry delight to do a body good. Smoothies are so easy to make, and the best part is you can add or subtract ingredients.

This fruit smoothie consists of 5 ingredients, and provides 2 fruit servings:
1 medium size banana
1/2 C strawberries (organic if available)
1/2 C blueberries
1 T flax seeds (grind them prior to adding if time permits), and
Fresh, cold water to desired
consistency.
Natural sweetness will vary depending on fruit ripeness.

Variations: Substitute cold kefir, low-fat yogurt, soy milk, or milk v. water.
You can also add chopped ice while blending for a brain freeze.

This drink is high in potassium, and vitamin C and phytochemicals.
Some powerful antioxidants found in plant pigmant include: anthocyanin, and lycopene. Anthocyanin is the blue in blueberries and lycopene is the red in strawberries.
