Yay, its finally hitting 80 deg F in Seattle today.. Oops.. I think its going to be lower tomorrow again.. meh
But thats seattle.. I like the 70s, just the right amount of heat and cool air without burning u up!
Heres another cool fruit drink combination that I tried the other day. A little beet in the usual Mango cooler! This cooler keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days without any change in taste. I like these cooked fruit drinks esp for the mornings, when I am short on time to make fresh juices or smoothies!
