My wife has been on a health drink kick lately so I thought I would whip up my own concoction this morning. I made this with fresh squeezed orange juice, strawberries, banana, local Honey,organic flax-seed oil, frozen papaya, frozen blueberries, blackberries,raspberries and almond milk. This stuff tastes FANTASTIC !

I've been doing the same (differing ingredients though) because of my fiancé. My only addition that I would say: add some yogurt to the mix, it makes it go from great to f*^~#'g amazing!
Also, beware if she buys a juicer... The juices are good and all - but on the first couple of rounds you'll POOP YOUR BRAINS OUT!
...this effect diminishes thought the more you become accustomed to it

I have been making smoothies a bunch lately. We used to alternate between almond and coconut milk but we have recently found the wonderfulness that is Almond Coconut Blend by Silk. Highly recommend trying it out!
but these smoothies look pretty great.Man I meant to point out that before I started doing this weight watchers thing we were just making our own smoothies and whatnot using frozen or fresh fruits and other stuff. Then I saw some articles online and after really looking in to the nutrition I was shocked. Yeah, they are "healthy" in the sense they have a bunch of healthy foods, but the calorie/sugar values can easily end up off the charts. Good thing to keep in mind when making these as I actually gained weight when I had the smoothies to replace a meal.
Also wanted to say that since I cut that out but continued on my same workout and exercise regiments I have lost right at 25 pounds in a little over 3 weeks (give or take a few days).

Love it. I like smoothies of any kind except ones with Super Blue-green algae (Spiralina)... :yak:
Here's one for you, not a smoothie, but definitely a Meal in a Glass.
50/50 Vegetable juice and Clamato (2-64 oz jugs)
2 blocks cream cheese diced
3 avocados diced
1-2 lbs baby shrimp
2-3 jalapeños, minced
½ a bunch green onions
Serve ICE COLD.
I wish I had some right now, it's 104º out there right now. (But it's a dry heat hahahahaha)
