4 fab smoothies to keep you cool this summer


 

Check these out, too...

  • 5 signs McDonald's isn't as healthy as they say
  • Green meanies: How to make veggies taste good
  • Check this out: 30 seconds to fruitful eating
  • Yum! Grilled shrimp recipes for a weekend cookout
  • Hands off that hotdog! Do you know what's going on your bun?
Ditch the sugary lemonade or fat-laden ice cream and whip up some sweet smoothies. We stuck with plain yogurt, real fruit and no juice to keep ’em from being sugary nightmares (like a lot of smoothies at the mall!). Here are our four faves.

Sweet and Tart Sweetheart Smoothie
Just a bit tangy, this taste just like summer!
•    1 cup of fresh strawberries
•    2 or 3 slices of peeled lemon or 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice 
•    1 cup of ice 
 Plop them in a blender and whirl away.

Mango Peach Island Fusion Smoothie
This is an instant getaway, but would might a light breakfast too.
•    1/2 mango, sliced 
•    1-2 peaches, sliced 
•    1 cup of plain yogurt
•    1 cup of ice 
Pop them all your blender until smooth.

Banana Blueberry Blend Smoothie 
Perf for your post-run snack.
•    Peel one or two bruised bananas (older bananas taste better than newly ripened ones)
•    1 handful of fresh blueberries 
•    1 cup of plain yogurt.
Stick them in the blender and—ta da!--a summery treat. 

Pineapple Coconut Poolside Splash
To sum it up in one word: YUM!
•    4-5 slices pineapple
•    1 cup coconut water
•    1 cup of ice cubes
Blend it together for the ultimate fruity pick-me-up.

MOD MOD MOD Smile Is Capri Sun good for you? Sorry, off topic, but fruit smoothies got me wondering about fruit juices, and Capri Sun (fruit punch) is a fruity drink. 




Hey! It probably has a lot of sugar in it, real fruit juice is better for ya Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD I dont know what is wrong with me! I am 5'3 and was 113 pounds and am now 117 in the course of two weeks. i have already had my period for several years. I excersize and do heavy cardio 3 times a week (tae Kwon do) as well as atleast 100 squats OR 100 leg lifts a day... i may not eat the best at all. i have high metabolism so i eat whatver i want. then suddenlly i gained and am 117. i have fat on my upper thighs and hips only. ONLY!!! i dont know waht happened. maybe my metabolism decreased. nothing is working even extra excersize. maybe im just growing but why cant i lose it. I DONT WANT HIPSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! i want my body back. none of my friends have this extra flab. PLEASE HELP

 

Hey girly, well four pounds isn't bad, and is probably only noticable to you, so don't fret. Since you work out so much those four pounds could be muscle forming. Keep eating healthy and working out, and see what happens in another two weeks. Smile

I Love smoothies but they always take a long time to make- find the blender, slice the fruit, measure the ingredients, knowing what button to press, and cleanup! Ugh so much work for some thing so delicious!

I have a sister who is 11 years older than me, and have last seen when I was eight. Everyone's saying I'm taller than her, and I'm not sure how she feels about it. Should I make myself appear shorter? And if so, what should I wear?

 

Hey girl! I don't think there is any reason to make yourself seem shorter. Be comfortable in your own skin and don't worry about making her feel taller.

I love smoothies but they can be fattening if you use the wrong yogurt. Some yogurt is really fattening, so not all smoothies are super healthy, but they all taste so good no matter what!

MODMODMOD I usually drink Yoplait Smoothies. They come in a package and have frozen fruits and yogurt bits. You put them in a blender with a cup of milk and there's your smoothie. One package makes 2 full cups. My question is, are Yoplait smoothies more fattening than these? Can you please tell me? And I'd like to make a Strawberry-Banana smoothie like these. Got any tips?

At all the water parks are amusement parks,I'm afraid too go on almost all the rides. My mom will force me until I cry sometimes! What should I do? Soon I won't be able to go in the kiddie sections.




Hey girlie. Rides aren't for everyone. Talk to your mom about it because you shouldn't have to go on rides if they make you feel uncomfortable!

MOD- My half-sister (she's 30) is getting married in 2012. Her boyfriend engaged to her in November of last year. My sister lives in California with my other half-sister, and I live in Arkansas. We only keep up on facebook. She visited in April of 2010 for a couple of days, but before that, it had been 9 years since I'd seen her. Never the less, we have still kept up in the past through email and things, so although we aren't super close, we do still keep in touch. I'll be 16 when the wedding rolls around, and I'd really like for my sister to ask me to be a bridesmaid. We haven't talked about her wedding, (in fact, it's been quite a while since we've talked), but I know she's already planning. Do you think I should be offended if I'm not asked? I mean, I know that I live far away from her, but I WILL be there during the time of the wedding, and I somehow managed to be a flowergirl in my other half-sister's wedding. How does this stuff work? Thanks for your help!

Hey girly,

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do in this situation. Your half-sis is ultimately the one who will pick who she wants as her bridesmaids. There is a good chance that you will be in that group, but if you aren't, don't be offended. It doesn't completely have to do with the strength of your relationship. It might have to do with the number of people that she wants, or maybe she has a specific connection between herself and all of the bridesmaids (ex. maybe they were all her group of friends in high school.) If she doesn't pick you, don't get angry at her or show your dissapointment, just understand that this is her day. No matter what your role is, just do your best to help make her wedding really special.

Good Luck!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
