Ok so this recipe is loaded with natural fruit sugars, and we all know that you're trying to avoid those during the detox unless it's directly after a heart-pumping activity. SO... that being said, DO NOT drink this while sitting on your front porch shooting the bull. DO NOT drink this after 6pm. ONLY drink this right after a softball game, or a vigorous walk, a good gym session, or a hiking trip. Within ONE hour of some activity. Got it!?! If I hear of anyone breaking the rules, I'm not going to share any more tempting recipes :)
Ingredients:
-1lg can pineapple tidbits (in their own juice, no syrup)
-5 bananas diced
-2 cups fresh strawberries – sliced
-2 cups lemonade (no sugar added - better yet, squeeze some lemons, add some stevia or agave, and viola! lemonade!)
-4 cups orange juice, (same as above)
Mix together and freeze. Set out about an hour before serving. Very refreshing for summer.

Vanilla Ice Cream
Yes, you read that right!!!
This recipe is for a small 1 quart ice cream maker. If yours is a larger capacity, increase the recipe as needed.
2 scoops Vanilla or Chocolate protein powder
2 cups water
1/2 cup egg beaters
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
Agave to taste (approx 2 Tbls)
Thoroughly blend your protein powder with the water. Then add all ingredients to your ice cream maker and follow the machine's instructions on how to freeze.
Variations:
Mix your protein in with almond, rice, or coconut milk to make it richer (coconut will be the richest).
Use stevia instead of agave if you prefer it's taste.
If you don't have an ice cream machine, I read one article that said to put the ingredients into a quart sized freezer bag, then fill a gallon freezer bag with ice and 8 Tbls rock salt. Put the quart bag into the gallon bag and turn the bags over frequently. I haven't tried this, but it sounds like it would work. Let me know if you do try it and how it turns out!
