"Alien Smoothies"

"Alien Smoothies"

So after getting this horrible evil illness known as Strep Throat, I tried a number of things to help the pain. What ended up helping the most were really cold things like popsicles and smoothies.

So today I ended up making a smoothie made out of the following:

1 cup of mixed frozen fruit (strawberries, mango, peaches)

1 cup of frozen strawberries

1 banana

1 avocado

1 cup fresh spinach

1 cup of rice milk

1 cup of vanilla yogurt (Tillamook)

2 T flax seed meal

a packet of Emergen-C

2 capsules of Omega complex (squeezed the oil out, didn't put the gelatin capsule in)

The result was a greenish, creamy, frozen concoction that my 4 year old promptly dubbed "The Alien Smoothie"

It tasted absolutely amazing!! And felt great on my throat.
