I thought that nobody was looking at this so I gave up a few weeks ago. I randomly logged on to my email today to find that a lot of people are viewing my blog. On that note, im back!
I did start going to that new gym I was discussing. Man, working out is hard! I always get so bored when on the machines. More on that in another blog post.
Whenever I am at home I like to have protein smoothies as a meal replacement instead of my usual protein bar. I do believe I have come up with the ultimate Strawberry-Banana smoothie recipe that is healthy and yummy!
First - 1 scoop of vanilla flavored Whey Protein (any brand). This is where the bulk of the calories come from, 100 total. These are very good calories though, protein fills you up, so you wont think about food until lunch time!
Next is Bananas and Strawberries. Make sure to cut them up well so that they blend in the blender well. Oh yeah did I mention you need a blender? you need a blender.
1 Banana will do.
and about 4-6 strawberries, depending on size. Dont over do it on strawberries. Strawberry overload just throws everything off :)
Next up is 5 ice cubes.
Finally, add a splash of V8 Fruit Fusion Light in Strawberry Banana. This is a great new drink, it has lots of veggies and fruit in it and it is only 50 calories per serving. Dont do a whole serving in your smoothie though, just a splash, enough to mix everything together when blending!
Now put your blender on Ice Crush until you cant hear the ice crushing any more. Then press the blend button, and blend for a moment or two!
There you go! A fresh fruit smoothie. Feel free to mix it up. Some days I feel like just banana, or just strawberry. Once in a while I do blueberry or raspberry. There are endless amounts of options!
Hint: if you hit the ground running when you wake-up, just like Cheetah Boots does, I have the perfect hint. I go to Panera sometimes to get an iced green tea as a treat, not too often though because liquid calories are not great! I keep the plastic cups and fill them up with my smoothie so I can bring it with me when I leave my house!
So there we go, I hope you enjoy!
