I know I have been a bit lax lately on my posts, but it's a prime example of how busy college life can get! I am doing my best to post as much as I can.
Here is the next Mom Tip of the Week! Straight from my mom, to you.
Smoothies are a wonderful quick snack or even a meal. And making them yourself is a lot cheaper than buying them from the local smoothie stand. Next time you go to the store, look at the fruits that are on sale. Think about the combinations of fruits you've got in smoothies in the past - try to remember to have something sweet balanced by something a little tart. For example, if you go for the traditional strawberry and banana, think about adding in a bit of an orange to increase the flavor (yes, you can get orange juice but that is not as good as the "real" thing). You can get a large tub of either plain or vanilla yogurt and add a generous portion to your smoothie. Throw in some ice cubes and blend.
Take a trip to your local whole foods store and ask about other wonderful smoothie additions, like protein powder, vitamins, probiotics etc. These can not only give you the energy and ability to concentrate that you need to get through the next few hours but can also help to boost your immune system as you overtax yourself during these very busy college years.
There you have it! Check back soon for more tips
Until next time,
~~Lucy
