The first one, low cal, low sugar, and added protein.
I have found a peanut butter banana smoothie recipe that I love! It doesn't have much sugar and it's a good day starter!
The recipe I use makes two servings.
Ingredients:
- 2 frozen bananas sliced into small chunks I never freeze them, but this might make it a little runnier.
- 1/4 cup oats and grains - sometimes I opt to skip these and add some flax seed. Oats will help to keep you fuller for longer
- 1/4 cup unsalted peanut butter
- 2 cups milk- I have even used soy or almond milk
- 1 tsp of organic Stevia, I use splenda because I normally don't have Stevia on hand.
- (optional) 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (plain flavor works too if you want the added nutrients but not the vanilla flavor) I always include this in my smoothie. Adds a little extra protein.
- (optional) 4 tablespoons cocoa powder- makes it a chocolate smoothie
This is tried, true and delicious!
Another really good thing you could incorporate to your diet is green tea. It has a lot of good things in it for you body. Here are some of them:
I hope everyone's having a good week and has some good active plans for the weekend! I know I do, it's supposed to be beautiful this weekend!
