Smoothies
Posted by leah on May 9, 2008
Smoothies are almost as good as ice cream, and can be a lot healthier depending on what you put in them. One of my favorite quick breakfasts is a smoothie made from a banana, some frozen berries, low-fat or non-fat milk, and a little orange juice. You get a couple servings of fruit, and a little protein and calcium from the milk, and it takes less than a minute to toss all the ingredients in a blender.
Note: smoothies are not a low calorie food, so they might not be the best thing for someone trying to lose weight, BUT made with the recipe above, they are low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium. Just make sure if you are counting calories that you add up everything you put in.
