    I'm not sure what I enjoy more. Making smoothies or drinking them! I love coming up with new combinations, tinkering with the quantities and trying different flavors. Lately, I've been on a citrus kick. It's the perfect time of year to add delicious oranges and mandarins since they are in season here in California.

    I've really been trying to focus on my health lately. Nothing drastic, but small changes to get back the energy I once had. After all, just 8 weeks ago I gave birth and my body is definitely not the same. I often find myself skipping breakfast with the business of getting the other four children out the door and my rush to get a few things done before the baby wakes up. This leaves me STARVING come lunch time so I usually just grab a snack. Something packaged and easy to devour that second. Bad idea.  It's a new year and time to focus on feeling healthy and staying healthy for my nursing baby.

    I don't like how I feel after eating a hot breakfast, so starting my mornings with fresh fruit, a muffin, or a smoothie gives me the energy I need to make it to lunch, without feeling the need to snack.

    Tip: Freeze yogurt in an ice tray for frozen yogurt cubes in smoothies.

    Many people will throw a handful of ice into their smoothie. I don't do this. Instead, I freeze my yogurt in an ice cube tray and throw a handful of cubes into my smoothie. I also slice and freeze overripe bananas to keep on and for a quick smoothie as well.

    Add a cup of your favorite orange juice.

      Hi everyone, Brandy here, and orange juice is my favorite add in to smoothies because it cuts the sweetness from the yogurt and bananas. Love the flavor it adds.
