Blueberry Fruit Smoothie

Detox Blueberry Fruit Smoothie!

Blueberries do the heavy lifting on this detox smoothie, with all of their antioxidant power. Bananas lend their support, adding fiber and potassium to the mix, and there’s also cranberry juice which has a cleansing effect, and can even be used to treat a urinary tract infection. Overall this is a nice combination of flavors, as well as a mixture of three super foods in their own right into one easy-to-drink smoothie. Good for a morning drink, or any time of the day if you’re trying to eat detoxifying foods.

Ingredients:

½ cup frozen blueberries

¼ cup unsweetened cranberry juice

1-2 bananas

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

This smoothie uses unsweetened cranberry juice and no dairy, yet it tastes SO good! If you are not trying to cleanse, you could add milk to the recipe; I am sure it would be delicious. I also think coconut milk would be pretty tasty too.

Crispy Baked Yellow Squash Chips--Healthy snacks

Veggie Chips...yummy

Summer is finally here!  Summer in California not only means beautiful beach and pool days it also means that zucchini and a variety of summer squash are finally in season and not getting shipped to us from some other country. 

What you will need:

• 2-3 yellow squash 
• Coconut oil cooking spray 
• Garlic salt
• Pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
2. Wash and slice your yellow squash super thin (the thinner the better). 
3.  Place the sliced yellow squash in between two sheets of paper towels and press down to adsorb any excess liquid.
4. Place your sliced yellow squash onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Try to give each little slice it's own space and if you need to use more than one baking sheet do so. 
5. Lightly spray the sliced chips with coocnut cooking spray. 
6. Sprinkle a little garlic salt and pepper on top. 
7. Bake for two hours.  At the end of the one hour mark flip the chips.  You want to bake until each chip is nice and crispy.  Keep an eye on your batch of chips and remove the chips that crisp faster and keep the ones in that are still a tab bit wet until they have achieved the ultimate chip like consistency.
8. Let them cool and enjoy! 

* These are the freshest right out of the oven and are best eaten right away and not made to store.
