It's HOT out there!

Want a creamsicle? Yea, me too. But I'm not going to buy one -- I'm going to make a creamsicle smoothie instead!

This creamsicle smoothie is totally delicious and totally healthy. Store-bought Creamsicles are full of refined sugar and additives and are definitely NOT vegan. These tasty smoothies however are fresh fruit-sweetened, full of EFAs (essential fatty acids) and real ingredients like juicy navel oranges, ripe bananas and even a few superfoods for good measure!





I'm calling this smoothie my "CreamSEXel" smoothie. Why? Well, this smoothie doesn't just stir up creamsicle memories of yore -- the recipe contains energy, stamina and libido boosting ingredients too!
