Smoothies

I'm sitting here, watching the rain and contemplating my upcoming trip to Italy to see Guido, and telling myself that summer IS on the way.
Summer means swim suits...yikes! And my point is? A container in the freezer, yes right next to my soup container.
I just had the most delicious smoothie, and it started from the container in the freezer where I put the half banana that was going to spoil, 2 strawberries I couldn't eat, the last cup of fresh melon salad...you get the idea. The fruit is blened while still frozen so no ice is needed, I added some apple juice and a chunk of tofu for protein, and dinner was served. I'm in a desperate race to lose some weight before my trip and a smoothie is just the way to get your fruit and feel like your treating yourself to a yummy dessert. Next time your tempted to throw out a slice of melon that you think no one will eat, toss it in the freezer and think smoothies!

thats a really good idea! i love pineapple - it tastes great and i find it really filling, but i always buy more than i can eat before it goes off. next time i will definately freeze it if i know ill end up throwing it away and make pineapple smoothies!
