I’m a huge, huge fan of fruit smoothies, to the point where I get HUGE packs of frozen fruit (from Costco of course, I pretty much live there) just to make smoothies. I’m going to make a mix n’ match to make your own smoothie, with the calories listed!
Start with a liquid (0.5 cup):
unsweetened almond milk (20 kcal)
skim milk (40 kcal)
water (0 kcal)
unsweetened cashew milk (20 kcal)
2% milk (60 kcal)
Add your frozen fruit (0.5 cup):
blueberries (35 kcal)
mango (60 kcal)
cherries (45 kcal)
strawberries (25 kcal)
peaches (30 kcal)
banana (70 kcal)
pineapple (37 kcal)
Optional: add sweetener (1 tbsp):
honey (60 kcal)
Splenda/Stevia/0 cal sweetener (0 kcal)
granulated sugar (48 calories)
agave nectar (63 kcal)
Stick everything in a blender and blend it up! This makes a very thick smoothie (the way I like it!) that I eat with a spoon like ice cream :P
Pro tips:
You could totally add some cinnamon or other herbs/spices (mint, too!) or even peanut butter (great with bananas) or chocolate chips/cocoa powder~
If you’re using something other than cow milk (like almond milk, cashew milk, water, etc.) consider adding a tsp of xanthan gum (10 kcal). It really helps keep everything blended and prevents it from having a slushy texture (unless you like slushies)~
For some extra awesomeness, instead of doing half a cup of frozen fruit, do a quarter cup of two different fruits! Some of my favourite combos are: mango & blueberry, cherry & strawberry, cherry & peach, peach & blueberry, strawberry & banana, banana & blueberry. Or, if you’re not too worried about calories (because these are fruits, they’re seriously super good for you) just mix a bunch of ‘em together and see how it goes! Bananaberry (0.25 cup banana, 1 tbsp blueberries, 1 tbsp cherries, 2 tbsp strawberries) is seriously so good and one of my favourites~
I hate purity Hate goodness I don’t want virtue to exist anywhere I want everyone corrupt
I am an architect They call me a butcher I am a pioneer They call me primitive I am purity They call me perverted Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave
I am idiot drug hive The virgin, the tattered and the torn Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards Self disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please A morality obedient only to be cleansed repented
I am stronger than Mensa, miller and mailer I spat out Plath and Pinter I am all the things that you regret A truth that washes that learnt how to spell
The first time you see yourself naked you cry Soft skin now acne Foul breath so broken He loves me truly this mute solitude I’m draining I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing
Sleep cannot hide thoughts splitting through my mind Shadows aren’t clean, false mirrors too many people awake If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down I’ve been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else
I am stronger than Mensa, miller and mailer I spat out Plath and Pinter I am all the things that you regret A truth that washes that learnt how to spell
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything

The Scariest Drug in the World: Scopolamine is a drug that when taken keeps a person coherent but makes them open to follow commands. It’s been used to make people steal, as a rape drug and a way to humiliate people. It’s known as a “chemical hypnosis”. This film documents people’s experience with it.
An Interview with a Cannibal: An interview with a man named, Issei Sagawa who committed a pretty horrific crime. He butchered and raped a young Dutch women because he wanted to absorb her “energy”. He spent 3 days consuming her flesh.

High on Crack Street: Shows just how badly crack ruins lives. A great portrayal of the harsh, dark side of drugs.
Aokigahara/Suicide Forest:A geologist walks through the forest and shows us what he sees. Definitly contains some depressing material.
Atomic Wounds: The effect of a nuclear weapon on a mass number of people. It’s disheartening, it’s horrifying, but it’s reality.
Just Melvin, Just Evil: A documentary about a tormented family who suffered from sexual abuse and substance abuse because of one man. It leaves you wondering how can one man be so destructive?
Earthlings: One of the most intense documentaries made about animal abuse. Footage contains graphic material.
I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80’s movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason.
