Smoothie Sunday: Strawberry Mango Smoothie
I got the idea for this smoothie from a blended margarita I had once. It was yummy, so I figured the flavors in smoothie form would be yummy too. Obviously the smoothie doesn’t have alcohol in it. Though I suppose if that’s how you need to start your morning you could add some.

Smoothie Sunday: Pineapple Orange Smoothie
Much like mango, pineapple is one of those fruits that I forget how much I enjoy until I eat it again. After being reminded by eating some a couple of weeks ago, I decided I needed to work it into a smoothie. Since pineapple orange juice is a thing, I figured a pineapple orange smoothie would be a good bet. And it was!

Smoothie Sunday: Watermelon Kiwi Smoothie
As soon as I saw the watermelon in my kitchen I knew I wanted to try making a watermelon smoothie. I also knew I wanted to have some other fruit in it. After some research I decided to use kiwi. Also, I had an extra kiwi from the kiwi strawberry smoothie and wanted to use it before it went bad. The combination was really nice and refreshing.
In retrospect I realize this smoothie is better as a snack/refresher because it wasn’t as filling as most of the smoothies I’ve made so far. But it’s still really yummy and worth making.

Smoothie Sunday: Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a staple childhood food. They’re easy to make, yummy, and actually pretty healthy for you (assuming you use ingredients not loaded down with corn syrups and chemical preservatives). Erik and I first discovered this combination in drink-able form as a milkshake last year when we were both recovering from our respective oral surgeries and were desperate for new liquid things to eat. I decided this year to try making it in smoothie form so I could have it for breakfast. And it worked!

Smoothie Sunday: Ginger Pear Smoothie
I originally thought of using this flavor combo for the oatmeal smoothie, but the pears I bought weren’t ripe the morning my overnight oatmeal was ready. So I decided to wait and have it be its own smoothie. I’m glad I did wait, because the pear flavor, while yummy, is rather delicate, and would have been way overpowered by the oatmeal. This way is better because you can actually taste the flavors being featured.
Here’s what you’ll need.
