What's all the hype

I've been noticing lately there's been a lot of hype about "smoothies"
They are becoming more popular in our heath crazed society.


I stumbled upon a recipe in this months issue of
 Good Housekeeping magazine, so I thought I'd try it out.
All good stuff... 
Strawberries, blueberries, orange juice, yogurt, ice and Ginger.
GINGER.... wait, I dont think I've ever used fresh ginger in my life 
( I bought the already processed ginger in a paste)

That got me curious...why ginger
Well Ginger really is a good thing to have in your diet along with all that yummy fruit

and out came this yummy smoothie
 A great afternoon snack with my guy.

  4. We love smoothies here! Danae has a really yummy recipe for smoothies made with fresh spinach. Ginger is good in so many different things ... I usually have it on hand.

    Looks like you have a keeper in that smoothie!
