Alien Smoothie - Mango Banana Spinach

Aliens are green right? Well, that is what inspired this smoothie. We'll call it {The Wanda} or maybe just {Alien Juice} - because that it what my kids called it when I was making it.

Ingredients:
1 banana
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup frozen mango chunks
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 cup water ( or 1 cup apple juice if you want it sweeter)
Directions:
Throw it all in your blender and hit {Puree}!

Now doesn't that color look very alienish green right?? I was very impressed that all you Book Club gals drank it! It almost looks a little too {healthy} if you know what I mean. SCARY! ;)

The book "The Host" inspired the name and little {alien} surprise at the bottom....

Cheers!

Honey Citrus Salad

The recipe is super simple. This proportion feeds 1-2 people - multiply as needed.

1 orange, peeled & sectioned (preferably with the membrane removed)
1/2 banana sliced
1 tsp - 1Tbs honey depending on how much sweet you need
1/4 cup berries - raspberries, strawberries, etc.
Sprinkle with poppy seeds to add a little color.

Enjoy!
