While we were in Tulum, Mexico last weekend we found this awesome juice stand where you could choose all of these different fresh fruits and the lady would make you a frozen drink. I went every day, and the last day I showed up she had already closed and when I asked her if she was, she said she, "How can I say no to a pregnant lady?" and made my smoothie for the last time. 

I have been making these smoothies once a day for the last week and I am just not tired of them yet! They average around 400 calories and I would guess have 4-5 fruit servings each! I bought everything at Wal-Mart and bought the "Great Value" brand and it cost me about $15 for everything. I have made about 10 smoothies from it so far and probably still have enough to make a few more.

- a little fresh orange juice (I would say a little more than a cup)
- a few cubes of chopped pineapple (I used the canned stuff)
- a handful of frozen strawberries
- half a handful of frozen blueberries
- a good squeeze of raw honey
- a handful of ice

"Ice chop" it all together in a blender and get a LARGE straw! Enjoy!

Looks yummy, I will definitely have to try it. Here's another smoothie recipe for you: a small can of pineapple juice (8 oz), three heaping spoonfuls of plain vanilla yogurt, a banana (or two!), a handful of frozen strawberries, and a handful of frozen peaches. Blend!!! It's very yummy and the yogurt is good for you and baby! (You can change up the type of frozen fruit, it's good with any!)

Both of those recipes sound amazing! I'm ready to try them!
Here's another recipe if the color of the smoothie doesn't bother you.
