Margarita Smoothie

Ingredients
1 cup ice
1 T 100% lime juice (Fresh or bottled.  Fresh is better.)
1 T 100% lemon juice (Fresh or bottled.  Fresh is better.)
4-6 strawberries
3 large slices of pineapple or 6-8 cubes
1 banana
1/2 or whole orange, start with half, add to taste.
1-2 T agave nectar - You can skip this.  It doesn't need it and adds many calories.

Directions
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend. :)

Optional
You can go two directions here...
1 direction (not recommended for health) - Add a shot of tequila.  This version is WAY less calories than the mix you get in the store.
Meal direction - Add a scoop of protein powder and you have a healthy meal or snack depending on your activity level.

*Remember it takes a deficit of 3500 calories to lose 1 pound.  

That's 500 calories a day.  

Make healthy choices!
