The other day I accidentally made the best smoothie ever. Lisa and I have been consuming a smoothie a day since she moved in here and we’ve been loving each and every one. They are always good, but it wasn’t until we were running low on milk that I stumbled upon the creamiest and best smoothie of my life. That’s right!

As I was eating this miracle in smoothie form, it was bittersweet. So very good and so wonderful, and yet, knowing that I would probably never be able to reproduce the glory, it was also a little sad. Until the next day. I used 1/2 of the milk I would normally use and it was again the best smoothie ever! Yes! It wasn’t a fluke! The best had happened….until…it happened again today! I’m so thrilled that I have picked up this skill. To make your own worlds best smoothie:

1. 1/2 of a banana (frozen and sliced)

2. 5 (not six or four) frozen whole strawberries (not strawberry shortcake)

3. 1/3 cup of skim milk

4. 1/2 packed frozen acai pulp

[Acai pulp contains the following:

A generous concentration of antioxidants which aid in fighting premature aging, with as many as 10 times the antioxidants as opposed to red grapes. Acai pulp has  10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine.
 
A synergy of monounsaturated (good) fats, phytosterols, and dietary fiber  to help enhance digestive and cardiovascular  health.
A nearly perfect crucial amino acid complex linked with important trace minerals which are extremely necessary for proper muscle regeneration and contraction.]

5. one scoop vanilla protein powder

6. blend (i use the fantastic magic bullet-which really is magic) until uniform in color

7. enjoy the best smoothie you have ever tasted.

(8. don’t worry if you don’t have acai pulp or protein powder, it’s pretty damn good with just the milk, strawberries and bananas)

Okay, I know I didn’t really need to put a picture with each of the instructions, but I’ve become ever so slightly obsessed with Google Images and want to use them whenever possible. So don’t think that I doubted your collective intelligence when I posted a photo of a banana, I just love love love Google Image! It rocks my world!
