Many of you are gearing up for fall, getting out those sweaters and pulling out your stew recipes. I on the other hand am trying to stay cool. Sunday the temp her in sunny south Florida was 89 degrees. While that doesn't sound outrageous, it's still warm. Add to that...On Monday our AC went out. Guess what, It's STILL out!So why am I telling you all of this? There was no way I was cooking or eating anything warm on Monday. We ate cold salads and yummy veggie/protein shakes all day. Below I added a few of my favorite smoothie recipes. Enjoy!

ohhhh, I've never had a pumpkin smoothie before. Can't wait to try this one out.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought to add grapeseed oil to a smoothie, but I'll have to try that next time. I'm in Texas, so it's not soup weather here either.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful post! I've never heard of adding grapeseed oil either. What a neat and healthy twist!

Oh, wow, I never tried a pumpkin pie smoothie! What novel idea! Must try that one! Thanks for linking this up at Meatless Monday recipe hop :)
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! Is the SP essential? (Whatever that may be - I'm guessing a protein drink of some sort)Or is it good without?
ReplyDeleteSP Complete is a whole-food protein powder from Standard Process. It isn't mandatory. You could probably add yogurt and it would be delicious. I use SP Complete because it contains vegetables and essential nutrients.
DeleteThanx for stopping by. Join me for the giveaway tomorrow!
