1 cup Acai Berry Juice
1/2 cup almond milk
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 whole frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 Tbsp finely ground Flax seed
8 ice cubes
1/2 c. brewed green tea
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
dash of cayenne pepper

Toss it all into a blender. Blend on low for 10 seconds and then high until smooth.

Taste is relative. What I find good tasting you might not and vice versa. But that shouldn’t stop a smoothie connoisseur from trying! When it comes to heath and weight loss, vitamins are important so I encourage my readers (and myself) to always include the following in all fruit smoothies.

1. 2 T. Acai berry juice

2. Banana

3. Yogurt or milk

4. strawberries or watermelon

5. Protein powder

These ingredients guarantee several important vitamins, potassium, protein, antioxidants, and calcium and help you to start your day full and with lots of energy.

Watermelon is a natural source of vitamins C, B, and A which are useful to protect us from diseases and give us energy. It reduces the risk of dehydration, and has a high lycopene content which is known to reduce prostate cancer. Watermelon is also stuffed full of electrolytes and potassium. Calories are negligible as you would be full before you’d come close to consuming enough calories to add weight. A great way to diet and great tasting too!

2 cups seedless watermelon chunks
1 cup cracked ice
1/2 cups plain yogurt
1 tablespoon sugar or splenda
1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/8 teaspoons almond extract
2 Tablespoons of Acai Berry juice

Combine all ingredients in blender container, blend until smooth.

For frosty summer snack, replace yogurt with 1/3 cup full fat, or 2/3 cup low fat vanilla ice cream.
