I am back at it again in the kitchen. I thought I would take the time to post a few of my all time favorites. Since, it's been so hot lately I haven't really been in the mood for a hot breakfast, but something cool and fruity. Taking advantage of all the season's bounty with fruits and vegetables who would not want to incorporate beautiful strawberries, bananas, nectarines, plums, watermelon, berries, and kiwi into a delicious concoction? Getting your fruits in a smoothie or shake is ideal especially if you're not a fan of just eating whole fruits. Also, since I'm in the process of reducing, I am also cutting calories as well and getting plenty of much needed vitamins and nutrients. I hope some of you will try these recipes and maybe even add some of your personal touches to them. Enjoy!
