cooler an nutritious

I have a magic bullet but you can use a blender or food processor for this too. Also all measurements are approximate you can add or decrease as you want
1/2 a cup of FROZEN fruit (I like peach, banana, orange and pineapple together)
a couple of tablespoons of yogurt (optional if you have a dairy problem)
(I also like to add a couple of tsps of slimfast or protein powder to make it like the Orange Julius drinks)
A 1/2 - 1 cup of ice cold water
ice if you have it
blend this up and pour into a glass if you don't have a magic bullet
You can make this as thick or as thin as you want.
If you make it thick enough to need a spoon its almost like ice cream (in order to make it thicker add more FROZEN fruit).

beat the heat for a bit

Heres a trick for those of you needing to cool down for a while when its exceptionally hot out. If you can get your hands on a mint based lotion such as peppermint or a menthol based such as vicks and smear it on your lower back, shoulders,neck, feet and thighs (old t-shirt and socks come in handy if you use the vicks)then if your still a tad warm stand in front a fan and you'll be chattering in no time at all. I find alot of times if I just put some vicks on my feet and small of my back then my temps are dropping fast and I am actually on the cool side in no time at all, course no one wants to come around me for long but hey it beats passing out from heat stroke LOL.
