It's Apple season!

When I was a kid, I used to love going to the apple farm during apple season.

You know what goes great with apples? Watercress!

Here's a recipe I found on "Smarter Fitter":

Watercress & Apple Smoothie

A handful of B&W watercress

1 apple

1/2 a frozen banana

1/4 avocado

a few ice cubes

water to blend in blender

Blend and enjoy!

Ice Ice Baby

Not just any ice, Watercress Ice. This is great for smoothies, as you can have the ice made and ready any time you want it. This is all there is to it:

Place a good bunch of watercress in the mixer, I added a little water, a tablespoon,

just to make the watercress a little more liquid.

It probably didn't even need water, but this is the consistency I created with the combination mentioned.

Frozen gems of gorgeous green watercress.

I added two cubes of watercress ice to this smoothie, with strawberries, and greek yogurt. It was delicious - Enjoy!

Purple Protein Smoothie

I wanted a smoothie this morning, but something a little different, so this is what I came up with:

I used what ingredients I had on hand. You could easily substitute other fruits. However, 

it might not be as purply.

Mix.

Any liquid would work.

Super Smoothie!

Yum!

Smoothie for Hump Day!

Today's smoothie is a free for all! I just used whatever I could find in the refrigerator. I had about 3/4C of greek yogurt, a good bunch of delicious watercress, about 6 frozen strawberries, and I like stevia, but any sweetener of your choice.

I added a little chocolate protein powder and water, and here is the result. Very tasty.

Did you know that watercress is an aphrodisiac? 

Happy Hump Day!
