3 Beverages 5 Swanson Blueberry Martini Blueberry juice has a high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) score, so it s great for immune system health and cellular defense. However, this beverage is strictly for fun.

4 6 Beverages Swanson Pineapple Energy Smoothie Whey protein powder is a great source of emergency energy because the amino acids are easily digested and assimilated by the body in a short amount of time. The medium-chain triglycerides in coconut oil are available to the body as a long-lasting source of energy. 8 ounces pineapple juice scoop Swanson Whey Protein Powder (#SW232) tablespoon Swanson Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (#SWF035) frozen banana, sliced ¼ teaspoon of Swanson Organic Ginger (#SWF060) Drizzle of honey Peel the banana, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer at least 2 hours before making the smoothie. It s easy to store a few bananas in the freezer since they ll keep almost indefinitely. When ready to make, remove the plastic wrap and cut the banana in 6 pieces with a sharp knife. Pour the pineapple juice in a blender while it is in the OFF position, and add the coconut oil and banana pieces. Turn the blender ON (make sure the cover is on the carafe), and while it s whirring, remove the cover and add the Swanson Whey Protein Powder, the honey and the ginger. Blend for a minute or so until the consistency is smooth and creamy. Pour in a 6-ounce glass or into the shell of carved-out pineapple and drink through a straw. In about 0 minutes you will feel electrified and ready to do something fun!

5 Beverages 7 Swanson Dream Soda 2 ounces freshly prepared almond milk (see below) 2 ounces Swanson Acai Liquid (#SWU382) teaspoon Y.S. Organic Bee Farm Clover Honey (#YS06) 6 ounces unflavored sparkling water (we like San Pellegrino) Gently stir first 3 ingredients together and top with sparkling water. Serve over ice or straight up. Preparing the almond milk: ½ cup of Swanson Organic Almonds (#SWF003) 2 cups of pure water (plus more tap water for soaking and blanching) 2 tablespoons Y.S. Organic Bee Farm Clover Honey or maple syrup Place the nuts in a jar and cover them with water. Soak overnight or at least 6 hours. This step helps to release the nutrients from the nuts when they re put into the blender, and it also makes them more digestible. Drain off and discard the soaking water. To remove the skins from the almonds, place them in boiling water (this is called blanching) for about 30 seconds. Then drain off the water and plunge them into cold water. Drain. Squeeze the almonds between your fingers, and the skins will easily slip off. Place the almonds, ½ cup of pure water and the honey or syrup into a blender and combine until smooth (about minute). With the machine running, add the remaining 2 cups of water, and continue to blend for more minute. Pour the mixture into a fine strainer or cheesecloth, and press out the liquid into a bowl with a rubber spatula. The almond milk can be stored for several days in the refrigerator. It s a great addition to smoothies or chai tea, too. Rather than discarding the remaining pulp, combine it with a dollop of organic honey to make a natural, organic face or body scrub!

Cut through the remaining lemon slice from the center to the outside edge, and hang it as a garnish on the rim of the glass.

While xylitol is healthy and safe for humans, it is metabolized differently in canines, causing a potentially fatal drop in blood sugar. It is also toxic to the canine liver. No matter how much Baxter begs, do not hand-feed treats with xylitol to him, and store goodies out of his reach. Elaine s Inspiration: My inspiration came from my mom who helped me learn about nutrition and the best deal out there.
