Tropical Beet Smoothie

Even if you do not really care for the earthy flavor of beets, I would still give this smoothie a try! It is a very mild hint of beet flavor along with lots of tropical fruity tastes as well! I was inspired to make this smoothie beacause of a local juice shop that I like to patronize on occasion. They have a similar smoothie on their menu, but at $9 a pop I figured I could get enough ingredients to make several of these at home for just a little bit more $$. So here is the recipe:

1 Cup of Coconut Water
1/2 cup of Spinach
1/2 Banana
1/2 cup of pineapple tidbits (with juice)
3 frozen Strawberries (or fresh!)
1 tsp. Agave nectar
4-6 Ice cubes

First I added the coconut water and spinach and blended until a smooth liquid. Next add in all of the other ingredients and blend until smooth. (add more coconut water or ice depending on the consistency you like)

Flat Belly Juice

This juice is super delicious and who does not want help having a flatter tummy! The ginger has an overwhelming amount of benefits in the body, Grapefruit is high in enzymes that fight fat as well as metabolism boosting properties (hallelujah!!!!) The greens are an added benefit to this juice adding extra nutrients and added hydration! So whip out the juicer and get that flat belly for fast approaching summer! Add in daily exercise to accelerate the process :]!!
