Recently (and I'm talking very recent - like in the past 3 days) I have discovered the fun of making smoothies. I can count on two hands the number of times I have used a blender, and one of those times I was trying to crumble oreos to make oreo balls. Hint: don't waste your time, it does NOT work. It was always nice when my Dad would get the urge to blend up a milkshake and I definitely would partake in the consuming act of this process, but not the producing. Blenders have never interested me much.
I got sick this past weekend (no surprise there) so I drug Michael to the grocery store with me to load up on fruit and orange juice. While we were there one of us (I'd like to say me but I'm sure it was him) decided we should make some smoothies instead of just noshing on fruit all day long. As much as I love fruit, I can't eat a lot of it without feeling like I'm forcing myself to do it. So we nabbed some bags of frozen mixtures, some fresh bananas, peaches, and strawberries and some orange juice and headed back home. Within 5 minutes I was gulping down a delicious smoothie. I am currently drinking my second smoothie of the day. It's safe to say my parents blender is going to be put to good use from this point forward.
With my new found hobby on the brain, I decided to find recipes online so I can start making all kinds of liquid goodness. Here is where Pinterest comes in. I discovered Pinterest about a month or two ago and have been in love with it ever since (thanks to a famous blog I follow). On this site you can create virtual pinboards of anything you'd like and organize them into different categories. Here is a view of my newly created smoothie board:
I can't wait to hit the blender and try all of these delicious looking recipes (especially the pumpkin one). If you don't already have an account, I encourage you to go to Pinterest and request an invite. I have already created 18 boards and I'm sure more will follow.
With much love,
Lauren
