Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie - based on this recipe
(makes one serving)

• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1/2 cup fresh pineapple
• 1/3 cup egg whites (or, for a vegan version, omit and add an equal amount of non-dairy milk)
• 1/3 cup milk (I use soy milk)
• 1 tbsp ground flax

Put all your ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth.  If your blender is not strong enough you may need to thaw or cut up the strawberries first.  Once blended, enjoy!

Lather on some sunscreen, grab a towel, and get ready to relax because just one sip of this refreshing and delicious smoothie will magically bring you to your dream location spot.

No, really.

You'll be basking in the sun before you even know it!
