Well, it’s snowing. Again. Sighh – winter isn’t over yet!
In fact, it’s been crazily windy these last few days (like 70+ miles an hour, ridiculous!).
I can’t help but have my mind wander to sunny places on days like today. Think.sunny.thoughts.
I set out to make a smoothie – and decided to experiment with some lemon extract in my mom’s cabinets.
Summer-in-a-glass.
Pay no attention to the snowy-scene outside, this smoothie ended up tasting like a wonderfully fruity pink lemonade!!
Filled with a combination of milk, water, Truvia, mangos, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries and flavored with a little vanilla extract and lemon extract, this thing transported me to the beach!
My original intention with the lemon was simply to try to bring out the fruitiness – but I was pleasantly surprised at how refreshingly, lemonade-like this was, and it was sweet! No pucker!
- What are your summer flavors?? Lemonade is definitely a flavor I associate with the summer – this restaurant near me does a watermelon lemonade that is out of this world!! Oh, and mint chocolate chip ice cream…
This snow is getting pretty ridiculous.
I’m thinking sunshine. && my favorite summer flavors are fresh blueberries, peaches and mojitos =]
I knoowww – I’m so over winter! and Ohhh, yes, mojitos!!
That smoothie combo sounds delish!
I was worried about it for a sec – but it was really good!
Mm! For me summer tastes like strawberries, blueberries, mangoes and frozen yogurt. Yum!
Yess – I can’t wait for awesome fresh berries to be back.
Yum! I love all of the fruit you added to your smoothie! For me, Summer tastes like WATERMELON!
Love watermelon – I rarely buy it though…even in the summer! Shame on me.
Sigh, we’re both experiencing the same weather drama. It was sooo nice last week and now it’s snowing, such a tease! Your smoothie totally looks like summer in a glass, I may have to make one soon and cheer up!
I know – the weather needs to chill out (figuratively) and literally, warm up. I’m oveeeer it!!
Watermelon is definitely my summer flavor…I love lemonade too!
I’m so over winter
Me, too – I need to see grass again.
