I buy juice concentrates at my local health food store - vary between acai, concord grape, cranberry - and use about a quarter cup in my protein shakes. I mix in frozen berries, water, and a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.

I'm not really a poster girl for a healthy weight just yet, but I do have to say that when I was drinking these smoothies on a regular basis, I noticed a marked improvement in my energy level and overall feeling of joy and balance.

I need to get back on that regimen. Maybe blend in some spinach, carrot, and cucumber.

Yum.
