    Just the Getaway You Need: July’s Smoothie of the Month

    Picture this: You. In a hammock. Subtle sun shining down. All is quiet aside from the sound of chirping exotic birds, a light breeze, and the creaking of your hammock swaying slightly back and forth. Next to you in this tropical oasis is the most vibrant blue body of sparkling clear water, such a lovely shade of aquamarine. Beneath the shallow surface you can see little fish swimming around, brightly colored. The sun feels great, and you’re staying quite cool with an amazingly delicious beverage in hand. It resembles a fancy exotic beach drink, yet you feel it invigorating your body with energy and nutrients. Bananas, coconut milk, and fresh pineapple blend together nicely amidst the juice from sweet oranges, creating a refreshing, lightly-sweet and perfectly tropical experience. The addition of Blue Majik spirulina make the beverage a detoxifying and energizing powerhouse that perfectly matches the serene tint of the adjacent sparkling blue lagoon. All is well. You are nourished, relaxed, and rejuvenating your body and mind, sip by sip.
