Yes, monsoons seems to have started and while I appreciate the afternoon cloud cover, the lack of consistent rain has kept me h-o-t HOT! So, in addition to my morning smoothie, I've started to add on an afternoon "pick me up". It is also a great way to beat those afternoon sugar urges AND a fun thing to do with your kids. Although the blender scares her a bit Lily is a super fan of "moothies" Here are a few of our favorites:

Banana Rama

- 1 banana
- 1 tbl(ish) of peanut butter
- 1 dash of unsweetened cocoa powder
- some ice

Blend & Enjoy!

Oprah's Favorite Smoothie (I stole this from Oprah when I was pregnant- SO yummy)

- Chocolate Soy milk
- Strawberries (I use frozen- only b/c I buy in bulk when they are on sale)
- Banana

Blend & YUM!!!
