Even though it was a chilly 36 degrees this morning on my way to work, my mind turned toward something cool and smooth to sip on while at the beach or after a workout. Something healthy and full of fruit goodness, but not high on calories.

While you could go to a smoothie shop, why now make your own for a cool snack or quick breakfast?

One of my all time favorite combos is Peach Mango! Check out this quick and easy smoothie that you can make year round by using frozen peaches and/or mangoes. You can also use fresh fruit and/or canned. Just make sure that when you purchase the canned fruit it’s packed in 100% juice and not a heavy syrup.

For those who are not big fans of the tang of yogurt, you can substitute 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and really cut down on the calories. One cup has 30 calories compared to 100 calories for a cup of fat free plain yogurt.

Peach Mango Smoothie

1/2 cup frozen mangoes
1/2 cup frozen peaches
1 cup fat free/low fat light vanilla yogurt (or substitute 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 2 tablespoons of fat free/low fat light vanilla yogurt)
1 teaspoon honey

If you are not using frozen peaches and mangoes, toss in 3 cubes of ice for that frostiness! You can also change this up and use blueberries and strawberries or a banana for a slightly thicker smoothie.

Blend together until smooth!

I cannot wait until the release of this movie! They’ve done an amazing reboot of the series and Chris Pine is a major hottie. Counting the minutes! So this Friday, I’m sharing one of the trailers with you. Hope you all have a great weekend.

I’m off to RT BookReviews Convention tomorrow! So psyched to be able to spend some time with those of you who are able to attend!

While I’m there, I’ll be participating in the Entangled Scavenger Hunt. For those who will be there, here is a little information about the hunt:

RULES: 23 participating Entangled Publishing authors* want to meet YOU! See all the pretty book covers on the back of this flyer? ALL the authors of those books are hanging out at RT RIGHT NOW and each of us is armed with a ton of little personalized stickers. Find each one of us, and we’ll each affix our special sticker to your flyer. Save Christine Bell for last, since she’s the keeper of the prizes. Show her all 23 unique stickers and you’ve completed the hunt. First 3 people to get a sticker from all of us win!

*We’ll be wearing our stickers on our name tags to help you find us, but scour any Entangled events or panels to find a bunch of us in one place! Once all prizes have been claimed, we’ll announce the winners & the end of the contest on Twitter (hashtag #EntangledHunt). If no one collects all 23 stickers by Sat. 5/4 at 10 p.m., we’ll extend a Twitter invitation for you to take a picture or scan your Scavenger Hunt flyer with stickers clearly visible & email or tweet it to us within 24 hrs. The 3 entrants with the MOST stickers will be our winners & prizes will be mailed. In the event of a tie, prizes will be awarded in the order that the pictures are received.
