Strawberry Mint Smoothie Recipe



Summer is coming and it's time to start getting that "summer body" ready. It's way to easy for many of us to momentarily forget about bathing suit season. Smoothies are a great way to get fruits and vegetables into your system. What's easier than taking a bunch of delicious foods and mixing them up in a blender with some ice? In my opinion, almost nothing. I love a good smoothie on a warm summer or spring morning followed up with a little bit of gardening... Ahh, that's the life!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup strawberries (~9 oz)
  • 1 banana
  • 1 apple (whatever variety you prefer)
  • 5- 10 leaves peppermint (leave a couple for decoration)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
  • 1/2 cup water or orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ice cubes
  • 1 scoop of Berry Flavored Super Food Blend

Directions

  • Rinse all the strawberries. Core the apple. Peel your banana.
  • Place all ingredients into a blender or Nutribullet. Personally I find the Nutribullet perfect for 1 person. Its not as bulky as a big blender and its easier to fit the containers in the dishwasher or just screw a cap on the Nutribullet container and put it in the fridge for later. 
  • Blend all ingredients until mixture is drinkable. Some people prefer more ice, some people don't like as much ice. Remember, you can always add more ice but once it's added you can't take it out!
  • Serve and enjoy! Garnish with a slice of strawberry or a fresh mint leaf if you're feeling fancy!

At Home Core Workout For Woman We all know how hard it can be to motivate yourself to get up off the couch and go to the gym some days. Personally, I find the more I think about it, the more I build it up in my head and then I don't want to go. But then I remind myself what the goal is that I am moving toward and all I do what I can to push away the justification in my head for not wanting to go get it done! And on days that I just cant make it to the gym I find that its great to have little routines like this one to follow and target different areas of my body throughout the week. So grab your FAVORITE PREWORKOUT DRINK and roll out your Yoga Mat because its times for a quick at home workout! This is a great exercise focusing mostly on cardio and core strength.
