Happy Cinco de Mayo!
I celebrated by hitting up the gym this morning. I was going to do another strength training workout but I’m sore from the two I’ve done at home this week so I stuck with some stretching, abs and the elliptical.
To refuel, I whipped up this quick smoothie. It’s flavored with citrus, banana and coconut making it quite the festive treat.
Cinco de Mayo Smoothie
Into the blender:
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 navel orange
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (sunwarrior)
- 1 scoop mila (optional)
- 1 T dried coconut
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- dash of cinnamon and vanilla extract
Fiesta for the mouth! I loved the texture of the coconut bits.
After work I’ll be celebrating a friend’s birthday and hopefully consuming some guacamole – my favorite Mexican food. 🙂
What are your plans for the day?
I’m going to have a long phone call with my mom – it’s her birthday! And make some Mexican zucchini with cumin, chili and onions. Yum!
I think I am going to have this as a snack today! The orange and coconut sound SO good together.
I had a very similar smoothie this morning – with mango, banana, coconut, spinach, and vanilla protein powder. I’m not crazy about the texture that the coconut adds, but the flavor was definitely yummy.
Guacamole MUST be celebrated today 😉
We’re going out to breakfast for our 3 year anniversary, which is actually tomorrow. That is, we’ll go if he ever gets out of bed! I want a giant, warm cinnamon roll. I’ll probably have something Mexican-themed for dinner, like a bean burrito. Exciting.
I am taking my first cardio kickboxing class.. I know.. very Cinco de Mayo..right?
I think I’m celebrating with Japanese tapas 🙂
Love it! I had edamame today – quite fitting. 🙂
Yum. It’s definitely FINALLY getting warm again for a good smoothie. I love the idea of one with tropical flavors.
That smoothie sounds awesome! 🙂 I don’t know what I am going to do to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I am looking forward to just relaxing and hanging out on my first day of summer! I will be making something Mexican for lunch and supper though!
A splash of lime would be epic! And a pinch of sea salt maybe
Fiesta for the mouth-ahaha!
I totally missed the Cinco de Mayo boat, but this smoothie looks awesome! Plans for today: finish up work, go to physio, make some dinner, watch Battlestar Galactica!
that smoothie combo sounds great! if only I had a blender…
This sounds delicious!
Now that looks better than any margarita!!! YUM!
that smoothie sounds delish girl!
Guac! That’s what I forgot to order yesterday! Darn. Oh well… guess I might have to whip some up this weekend. ; ) I enjoyed some good salsa though… but it was with a ton of chips. Whoopy-daisy!
i went the margarita route instead of the smoothie right but i have to remember this combo…YUM!
Totally a festive treat! Now if you just added in some tequila… 🙂
Guacamole is my fave, too!
Looks yum! Though I must admit, I’m not much of a smoothie person. I like chewing I think… and thick textures. I went to a hole-in-the-wall Mexican place and waited a long time for service, but it was fun since I spent some time with a friend.
Yum, this sounds moy delishioso! (That is my attempt at spanish, considering this smoothie is for Cinco De Mayo and all. 😉 Really though this sounds excellent! Especially because it has oranges in it, exactly what my sore throat is wanting right now.
