Tastes Like Thanksgiving Smoothie
"Here is another smoothie I whipped up with ingredients we had around the house. This smoothie would make an excellent breakfast with an omelette cooked with leftover turkey and some vegetables in it! It's a spectacular way to enjoy some leftover ingredients in the house from Thanksgiving!"

Very tasty, both toddler DD & i loved this one, a keeper, thanks! -
This one is really excellent. We are all sick yet I can feel the vitamin C coarsing through my veins! LOL Seriously, this is a different and tasty smoothie and a great way to use the extra bag of frozen cranberries in the freezer. I used stonyfield farm fat free french vanilla yogurt and added a half cup skim milk (after I asked the chef how much milk too add). My orange was not very sweet so I needed a pretty big shake of splenda, but I really enjoyed this one. Different than traditional smoothies due to the cranberries. Oh, and I used a frozen banana to add a little more creaminess. Thanks Phil.

I am 22 years old, and recent grad from Marquette University. I have accomplished something that I have always wanted to do, which is become more healthy. I have recently lost fifty pounds, and intend to keep it off too. Please feel free to message me for tips and ideas!
My hobbies are many and varied, but I love to sing, read, get down, hang out with friends, and most of all, I LOVE to experiment in the kitchen. It is one of the funnest things to do ever!
My favorite cookbooks are the Joy of Cooking, since they tell you how to do everything in that book, and the American Heart Association Cookbook, 7th Edition since they tell you how to "health out" your favorite recipes. They also have some pretty awesome dishes in the book, for not a lot of calories. Just make sure to watch your portion size! :D
Aspiration: I want to go to medical school and become a pediatrician. I want to be able to go to Africa and serve the people there, and to help out those in need here. Eventually I want to have my own private practice.
