Shake shake shake....shake shake shake...

Shake your booty! Shake your booty! LOL!

I have been on a shake kick over the last week or two so I thought I would just share a shake recipe or two with you. I'm sure most of you already make these but if you don't feel free to give them a try! Keep in mind that everyone's blender is different. Make sure to play around with yours till you find the right ratios. It took me a long time to realize I needed a lot more ice than I was using. I always use Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze but you can substitute whatever "milk" you like - soy, cow's, rice, etc. Put all in blender and blend till right consistency.
