Summer Smoothies in Style

Columbia has officially succumbed to the healthy smoothie trend, and I am just fine with that. There's a place that opened recently called Suite Leaf that offers meal-replacement smoothies that 1) incorporate HerbaLife products, 2) have a bunch of protein and are thus quite filling, 3) are all less than 230 calories, and 4) come in a lot of delicious flavors. You think it, they probably have it-- butter pecan, blueberry muffin, Snickers, cinnamon roll, etc.

Katie and I went when it first opened, but today on this sweltering day I brought my friend Megan along for a refreshing "lunch". We even got some outfit photos without melting!

On Courtney- dress: Express; shoes: American Eagle; purse: Nine West; bangle: Forever XXI; sunglasses: Loft

On Megan (she's got that blogger pose down pat!)- dress: Maurices; heels: Marshall's; bracelets: Loft and American Eagle; sunglasses: Fossil; purse: Coach

A little note about Megan: we met in our high school astronomy class and became fast friends. I count her as one of my closest girls, and if you heard our conversations you would probably think we were crazy/from a different planet. We can laugh 'til our abs ache but then we also have some deep, thought-provoking talks. Love ya girl!:) 

My dress collar kept flipping up in the breeze!

So I just went with it.

Meg didn't know what pose to do next.

I think she was singing "Mirrors" despite looking as though she's doing the Soulja Boy.

The freckles are starting to come out of hiding!

Megan got the German Chocolate and I opted for Turtle Cheesecake. Both were delicious! If you're in the area, give it a try! Smoothies are $5, which, considering they're a meal, isn't that steep. You get a complimentary "aloe shot" to drink beforehand which helps with digestion, and if you're willing to pay an extra $2 you get a metabolism-boosting iced tea. 

Say selfie!
