Coconut Peach Smoothie

Oh hello friends! Did you think I’d forgotten about you? Not quite! Let me tell you, getting SCUBA certified from 7pm-11:30pm for 3 nights in a row puts a real cramp in one’s style. (source)

I learned a few things last night during our first night of instruction, that’s for sure.

  • If I’m going to stay awake for a classroom and pool session that lasts that late I need a Starbucks date around 6pm.
  • I really, really love my 1 piece swimsuit and am so glad I had it last night. The girls in bikinis were miserable while we treaded water for 10 minutes or tried to get in and out of wetsuits.
  • I’m proud of myself for finally getting certified after 5 resort dives over the past few years of vacations.

Before I embarked on my scuba adventure, I enjoyed my 2nd smoothie in two days. I made it at work right before I left and was immediately transported to the Cozumel or Bermuda beaches where I enjoyed pina coladas on a daily basis last year. This smoothie doesn’t have nearly the amount of sugar or alcohol that those cocktails do but it is refreshing, protein filled and perfect treat!

    Congrats on getting certified! My brother and sister love scuba diving but I’ve never tried it. I think I’m a little scared! And that smoothie looks delicious!
