Watermelon Margarita

(about 2 servings)

*This recipe doesn't make a very strong drink. I'm a lightweight; if I'm not careful I'll embarrass myself before collapsing somewhere after just 2 or 3 of these. If you prefer something stronger, then reduce the amount of watermelon to 1 cup, and increase the alcohol. :)

*1 1/2 cups cold seedless watermelon, cubed
2 1/2 oz tequila
1/2 oz cointreau, or an orange liqueur
1/2 oz midori, or a melon liqueur
juice from 1 small key lime
4 ice cubes

Place everything into a blender, and process until smooth. Serve immediately.

Mixed Berry Smoothie

(1 serving)

For years I have neglected breakfast, primarily because I'm usually rushed in the mornings as I like to stay in bed until the last possible moment.

Lately I have been making these smoothies. They are fast and easy to make, and I change up the fruit depending on what I have on hand.

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup mixed frozen berries
1/2 cup water
1 scoop protein and vitamin powder

Place everything into a blender jar, and process until smooth.
