Summertime Smoothies
Sip these frozen concoctions instead of empty-calorie ****tails

By: Ted Spiker & David Zinczenko of Mens Health Magazine


When you adopt the Abs Diet, your blender should work out harder than Jack LaLanne. Smoothies are the easiest and one of the best possible meals you can make. Dump a few ingredients, push a button, then swig. In The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs book, the smoothie recipes take more of a dessert twist to satisfy your late-night or post-dinner sweet cravings. For more breakfast- and lunch-type smoothies, please see The Abs Diet and The Abs Diet Eat Right Every Time Guide.
