Have you seen the moon this past week? I kept snapping pictures with my iPhone but it looks weak compared to the Jack-in-the-box signage that kept photo bombing me. Tonight is the full moon.
Spring Break is in full swing here:
a) the scent of coconut oil lingers in the air
b) Every venue or bar has booked performances M-S
c) traffic is congested
d) flip flops and pollen are everywhere
e) my blender is getting a workout
The recent deluge ended 2 days ago and has been followed with a stark contrast of blue skies and dry air. My mind feels better now that order has been restored with food and electricity. Smoothies were cold and sweet after the morning run. I'm not real big on sweet and tart and this was in that range; however, I'm a sucker for a pretty dish.
For Christmas I scored a new toy and I have been using it to mix up some fruit smoothies. Florida is home to the strawberry capitol in Plant City and these gorgeous ripe berries are bursting in the market everywhere this time of year. A winter perk.
Summer means it's time for smoothies and other frozen drinks. This morning I made this blueberry smoothie for breakfast. The abundance of fresh fruits everywhere is a one of the highlights of this season. I used 2 cups of fresh blueberries with a half container of yogurt. Add 1 cup of ice and a 2 t of powdered sugar.
