Fancy Water

Are we all out happily shopping for new wardrobes, thanks to all the weight we've dropped from drinking sassy water?  OK, so my suspicions were correct....sassy water doesn't actually help you to lose weight.  But it does make you feel sassy, sophisticated, and hydrated.

Something else I have started drinking is called Fancy Water.  Fancy water is basically a homemade raspberry-flavored water.  It's super easy to put together.  And it's very tasty.  And it's super fancy, so the next time your fancy friends come over, pour them a glass.

Fancy water

• fresh raspberries
• water
• mint leaves

1.  Pour a container of raspberries into a glass pitcher.

2.  Add a bunch of mint leaves.

3.  Fill pitcher with water.

4.  Let sit over-night and start your morning off feeling fancy the following day.

Smoothie Shop

The McGhee family knows smoothies.  I talk all the time about how my boy minis want to grow up and work at a smoothie shop.  My oldest mini has a logo already drawn out, along with floor plans of his shop and we are working on recipes.  The thing my minis are adamant about is that their smoothie shop will be whole ingredients.  No nasty processed "smoothie mix" for them.  The downside to this is my mini's smoothies will cost you a few bucks, the upside is....well, you'll live longer and healthier!

Our latest smoothie obsession is a raspberry mango smoothie.

Mini McGhee's someday-we'll-make-money-off-of these raspberry mango smoothie

• 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 4 tbsp orange juice
• 1 scoop protein powder (unflavored)
• 1-2 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, it changed the texture of the smoothie completely so be prepared)

1.  Blend all ingredients.  Enjoy while chatting with your minis about their smoothie shop.
