I have reconnect with my love of the smoothie, forgetting just how yummy & satisfying they can be.
With a little skim milk, frozen fruit and some protein powder (I'm a chocolate fan myself), it can be the best way to start you day or a great anytime treat. I have them for breakfast a few days a week & as my post-workout treat.
I have taken to keeping frozen sliced bananas (which add a lot of volume and keep the tummy full) raspberries and strawberries my freezer and am now always smoothie ready.
Just a few minutes in the morning and BOOM! You’ve got high protein, low fat drinkable goodness. Plus, they are totally portable. Pour them into a travel mug and you have the perfect Meal-On -The -Go.
