Skinny Summer Refreshment

Summertime and fruity drinks go together like a dessert bar and a fat girl. James and I found the most delicious drink at Coldstone of all places and no, it doesn't have ice cream in it. Its a dreamy blend of orange juice, pineapple, lemon juice, sugar and ice. Blended together its the perfect way to relax by the pool with a good book. It's healthy and oh-so good.

Here is the nitty gritty on the nutrition:

Calories – 122.3; Total fat – 0; Sodium – 7.3 mg; Potassium – 289.9 mg; Carbohydrates – 31.6 g; Fiber – 1.2 g; Sugar – 25.6 g; Vitamin C – 99.8%


Citrus Dream Smoothie
Makes 3 servings

1 cup calcium enriched orange juice
1 cup canned pineapple chunks
2 Tbsp. sugar

2 cups ice

Combine the orange juice and the pineapple in the blender and mix until the pineapple is smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
