The 'smoothies' Diet

~~~ The 'Smoothies' Diet ~~~

I've discovered the joys of 'smoothies' as a diet
and if you're counting calories, you just might want to try it.
Start with milk and ice and water and whatever you may bring.
With mine, I add a little something ... just to give it zing.

To my strawberry smoothies a little Baja Rosa I add.
That extra touch of flavour is guaranteed to make you glad.
To a pineapple smoothie I find it needs a little something with kick
so a couple of ounces of tequila seems to do the trick.

Mocha latte smoothies are just instant coffee, milk and ice.
So add a little vanilla and some Baileys to make it nice.
Yes, this smoothies diet is great and its healthy to boot
and even if I don't lose any weight, ... I really don't give a hoot.

Carol Sunshine Brown July 7, 2011 at 6:06 AM What more could I ask for today? It is a beautiful day the sun shining and birds singing. I am reading your poetry in which you share a little of yourself maybe without even realizing it you have written from your soul. Thank you for sharing your awesome poetry with us Francine. Love, Carol
