smoothies and such



a little while ago, mom and i experimented living without dairy. she lasted two weeks, while i started a week later and caved in after a week. 

i'm not going to lie, it was really, really hard. i like dairy too much and i know i need to cut back. 

we both couldn't bear to let the boys eat pizza in front of us!

one of the things i learned through this is that you can still eat things like smoothies without yogurt, etc. 

this smoothie involved: 

- trader joes pure mango juice
-frozen mango
-frozen bananas
- fresh spinach
and that was it. it was super creamy and tasty. 

today i made a smoothie that involved: 
- flax seed
- plain yogurt
- frozen mango
- trader joes pure mango juice
-frozen bananas

and to top it off, i added a couple sprinkles of cinnamon. i wish that we had cardamom too, but cinnamon certainly worked at bringing out the flavor. 
try it sometime!
