Day Five - Sunshine Love Smoothie

When I get home from work sometimes I am ravenous.  This is not awesome as I usually have 2-3 hours before Jim will be home for dinner.  I have discovered that a delicious fruit smoothie fills me up and gives me a wonderful boost of energy.  Now I know that some paleo people would consider a fruit smoothie the equivalent to a big glass of sugar.  Agreeing that it probably shoots your blood sugar up I don't drink smoothies for breakfast but I love them for a snack or if I'm dying for something sweet.  My favorite smoothie is great if you are feeling run down or on the verge of being sick.
