Blackberry Melon Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup watermelon
• 1/2 cup honeydew melon
• 1/2 cup cantaloupe
• 1/2 cup blackberries
• 2 handfuls of spinach
• 1 banana
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup ice
• 2 scoops ThinStick™ Shake or 1 packet ThinStick™

Summer is approaching and it's a perfect time to start fortifying your diet with much needed antioxidants and vitamins from fresh melons and berries. One reason we really like this smoothie is because you will have enough remaining fruit, if you chop your melons all up at once and store in refrigerator,  for additional smoothies and to add as sides to meals. In essence, one morning of chopping and preparing will prepare you for many meals to follow!


Enjoy!

How can I have a healthy Halloween?

We all know that we don't have to go out and buy candy for ourselves around halloween time, some how we get plenty of sugar from friends and family. So instead of buying those super-size candy bags this year, GO HEALTHY! Try making some healthy halloween foods, instead of loading on sugar and calories. If you're going to throw your own halloween party, make healthy halloween foods an option!
