Monday = Detox Time. Well, not really. Maybe I had a little wine Friday night, but that's the extent of it. Sometimes I'm old and boring at 25. Okay, okay, a lot of times. But I've got a recipe for you if you DO need to detox. Or even if you don't because this is so super-delicious.
It's this recipe, only halved and made creamy (plus a little more caloric):

Originally, I was going to do the 28-day whole-body detox I read about in Whole Living. I still think it's a good idea and would like to try it sometime, but I didn't even make it 24 hours because I didn't really try. But I did take some of the ideas to heart and tried some recipes. In the first six weeks of 2011, I've made this smoothie almost a dozen times. Oh. Em. Gee.
I do love Naked juice but it's expensive. And even when I have it, sometimes I want one of these for dessert. It's almost as good as ice cream and something like 120 calories.
You don't believe me, do you? Trust me: I'm addicted to cookies. Cookie addicts are totally trustworthy when it comes to these things. (I almost typed "coke addicts." I'd guess those are usually not trustworthy.)
Because it's a wee bit pricey, I only buy Pom juice on sale. Then I make three smoothies in a week and I'm out of pomegranate juice again.
Maybe that's why I failed at doing the detox thing. Moderation doesn't suit me well.
Cue Billy Joel:
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low, there ain't no inbetweensAnd if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all

(makes 1 smoothie)
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/2 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice
1/2 cup water
Yogurt to taste (I use fat-free plain, but vanilla full-fat is decadent)

Mix all ingredients in a blender or food processor. I use my Ninja, which was a Christmas gift from my sister-in-law. I'm certain she gave it to us because it's called "Ninja," but it turns out this thing ROCKS. It's my super-duper-smoothie-machine now.
Drink it out of your favorite glass and look like a dork. Like this. And make sure to chew the seeds for fun, and to annoy the ever-living crap out of your husband. It's funny. He likes it. (Maybe.)

Mark and I make these all the time! But we do use Naked juice, or whatever we have on hand. These are our 'healthy' dessert or our after-workout snack.
