The Virgin Diet Summertime Fun

Coconut Water Cool Down

Cycle 3

Diary of A Virgin Diet Follower

Hey Diary,

I am still in Cycle 3 of The Virgin Diet, that"s  the maintenance part of the diet where I stay away from corn, peanuts, gluten and sugar and artificial sweeteners, and eat the foods that I can tolerate(eggs, some dairy).

Now that it's summertime and The Virgin Diet continues to be going very well, I thought that it would be a good time for a little tweeking, not twurking my Virgin Diet regimen.

Recently, I started making my daily smoothies with coconut water instead of coconut milk, and I feel my better. It 's probably because I get better hydration with the coconut water and coconut water definitely have less calories than the coconut milk. Coconut water is also high in potassium a great thirst quencher. I love it! I drink it instead of filtered water. Yummy good!

Aside from the taste, I have noticed other a few other benefits, like

my skin is more supple, and I now use less lotion( I thought that I was my imagination, but I no longer have to lotion), I also seem to have boundless energy. Yes, I can always use more energy.

By the way, I found a new coconut water called, Harvest Bay and it is really good tasting. I first discovered it while on vacation Washington, DC  when shopping at a health food store in the Eastern Markets. I remembered the taste of the coconut water to be soo good, but just could not remember that name of it.

It's all natural and not made from concentrate and soooo good ! Who knew that there was a difference in coconut waters. Well, I didn't. Harvest Bay Coconut Water makes a great smoothie too.

It seems to blend better with the pea protein powder, grounded chia seeds, and the frozen berries. 

Today, I created a Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie. Okay, so what's  a Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie? It's one of the best treats ever!

These long, hot summer days can be almost unbearable, however  my Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie make things a little bit sweeter!

My Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie is simple to make. Here's how:

Cool It Down Virgin Diet Smoothie

1 cup extreme chilled Harvest Bay Coconut Water

1 cup Frozen (hard frozen) Mixed Berries

1 scoop of Growing Naturals Yellow Pea Protein

1 tablespoon ground Chia Seeds

That's it!

Blend totally until smooth and drink with pleasure

This smoothie is absolutely great first thing in the morning, or last thing in the evening. (Maybe for lunch) . I just love my daily smoothie, and now that I have the Harvest Bay Coconut water.....

It's all good.

Until later diary,
