Skywalker Smoothie

as promised the Skywalker smoothie! i tried it out the other night and loved it! i got the recipe from the star wars cookbook. of course this is just a regular smoothie nothing special also easy to remember. i also cut my bananas up and froze them this time so they wouldn't get all mushy and gross which i hate! check out my other Star Wars recipes here!

• 1 cup organic fresh or frozen strawberries
• 1 banana
• 1/2 cup pineapple or orange juice (I used pineapple juice)
• 4 ice cubes

If you are using fresh strawberries, cut off their stems with a knife. Put the fresh or frozen berries in a blender.

Peel the banana. Break it into pieces and add them to the blender. Then add the fruit juice and ice cubes.

Put the lid on the blender. Make sure it fits tightly. Turn on the blender first at low speed, then increase to high speed. Blend until smooth and frothy, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the blender and wait until it stops. With a wooden spoon, check to see that the fruit is thoroughly blended. If not, repeat this step.

Pour into 2 glasses and serve immediately.

me with the cookbook and smoothie.

Blueberry,Mango,Pineapple and Spinach Smoothie

yes i know that title is a mouthful. i really need to use my spinach and my frozen fruit before next week so i decided to make this one. of course i dont have any bananas. at the begginning making the smoothie i didnt think it was going to come out but if you add water it mixes up so well! again you cannot taste the spinach at all i'm still shocked! my next weird thing to try will be wheatgrass drinks i found some powder i want to try called amazing green super food  they even have a chocolate one! 

1/4 cup Organic frozen blueberries
1/4 cup frozen pineapple cubes
1 cup frozen mango cubes
1 cup organic fresh spinach
1 cup water


all of the frozen fruit and water. I blended that until all of the fruit was smooth. Then I added the spinach. Blend everything up until the spinach was liquefied. 

yes i have vintage star wars cups 

i love that you can see the green bits
