Skinny smoothies

Food Network star Nigella Lawson was recently photographed in a rather conservative swim suit…

Perhaps if she’d been regularly sipping on our low calorie smoothies, she would have been more willing to reveal Victoria’s Nigella’s Secret.

Swim suit season can be a little intimidating. Take the edge off with one of our new skinny smoothies—all under 100 calories.

Frosting is not a food group

Recently I’ve come to learn that pizza plus cake does not a healthy diet make.

Okay so maybe I already knew that.

But I had a hard time letting the leftover cakes and three extra large pizzas from my graduation party go to waste.

When I started to smell stale pizza coming out of my pores, I decided I needed to incorporate some healthier foods into my diet—AKA some vegetables.

I’ll admit that a big stalk of broccoli isn’t always as appealing as cake frosting, but I’ll let you in on a secret:

If you hide your veggies in a fruit smoothie, you can’t taste them.

For an extra 50 cents, Juice Box will add some kale to your smoothie, and I promise you won’t taste it! You’ll just reap its awesome benefits and knock off one of your five daily servings of veggies.

Now lay off the cake and pizza. Oh wait, that was me. Nevermind!
