Have you ever danced Zumba? Today, I did! Zumba is a form of Latin dancing that makes exercise fun. Today I decided to attend the Zumba class at my gym. It was a 45 minute workout that really kicked my a**! I was so sweaty and thirsty after the workout.
Zumba was so fun, I just wish I had a friend to go with. I admit I was a bit nervous to start dancing in front of strangers, but I eventually got over it. For those of you who know me know that I only dance when I’m tipsy or drunk, so it took a whole lot of courage for me to dance in front of 20 girls. I’m finally conquering my fears, better late than never I suppose. Zumba is definitely not easy! As much as I love Latin dancing and believe that I should have been born Latin, I was totally thrown off by Zumba. You need a lot of skill, spunk, and attitude to dance Zumba, so I still have a way to go. I won’t give up though and plan on taking the same class again next week.
I came home and gulped 3 glasses of water. Half an hour later I made myself a Blueberry Smoothie for lunch, and it was just what my body needed after a good workout… a delicious and healthy smoothie loaded with antioxidants. I couldn’t have felt better about myself. 🙂 And then back to work!

Yum Yum Yum!! Due to lack of ingredients though, I used double the cantoluope (no honeydew). Still great though!! Will make again!
I felt so guilty drinking this until I remember that I didn't have to! It is a wonderful refreshing drink and it was very filling as well. The only thing I did different was use flax seed oil instead of the meal because that is what I had on hand. Great way to get the flax in to my son. Can't wait to try it with other berries.
I just love this recipe. Thanks for the recipe. I will try this out.
Sounds Delicious! I'd love to try this. Thanks for the recipe.
Wow, Thanks for the recipe. I will try this out.
Delicious recipe I just made it tonight ready for tomorrow I was previously making my smoothie with milk and I haven’t been enjoying it. I added two extra things to your recipe half a banana and half a cup of raspberries it works soo well. ?
I’m so glad that worked. I wasn’t sure how people would react with just water, but sometimes you don’t want the extra calories. 🙂
