The Smoothie You Need To Be Drinking

and the recipe you'll want to never forget!

The Smoothie You Need To Be Drinking
Maclaine Purdy

If you're not on the smoothie train, you ought' to jump on quick.

Smoothies are quick, easy, portable, healthy, filling, colorful, creative and delicious. Not to mention slimming and a 'snacking' preventer. How much more convincing could you need???

Since beginning my own binge on smoothies, I have had to mix things up and experiment outside my typical strawberry-banana-orange juice recipe. Some have been good, some barely drinkable, but this recipe is stellar and I highly encourage you to make it, like right now or tomorrow, if you are reading this on Facebook in bed at 11:00 at night.

What you need: A Magic Bullet (or blender), strawberry kefir, spinach leaves, 1 mango, 1 banana, pineapple (fresh is obviously better, but a can is cheaper!) & 1/2 cup of almond milk.

Slice banana, mango, pineapple and set aside.

Pour the almond milk into the blender cup and add a generous handful of spinach leaves- liquid helps to break up and blend the spinach leaves.

Blend! Blend! Blend!


Toss in your banana, mango and pineapple. Blend again!


Top with a small pour of strawberry kefir. Final blend!

Pour into a glass or drink right out of the blender cup and enjoy!


***Ice cubes can be added to keep the smoothie cold longer, but if you run out of space for ice in the blender, place in the freezer for 30 minutes- it does the trick.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
