The second is to drink a smoothie a day. Breakfast is one of those meals that I often replace with coffee, so this year I want to make having a nutritious breakfast a priority. Smoothies are a simple way to make this happen. Here are three smoothie recipes I'll be using again and again.
Pineapple Banana Smoothie
2 cups chopped pineapple
1 banana
1/2 cup yogurt
2 ice cubes
1/2cup water or orange juice
Combine all ingredients in blender and serve. Makes 2 servings.
Pineapple Mango Smoothie
1 cup chopped pineapple
1 chopped mango
1 cup water
2 ice cubes
Combine all ingredients in blender. Thin with more water, if desired. Makes 2 servings
Chocolate Peach
1 cup frozen peach slices
1 scoop chocolate greens or smoothie powder (I use VEGA because it is gluten free)
1 cup milk (or dairy free substitute)
Combine ingredients in blender, thinning with more milk if desired. Makes 1 large serving or 2 smaller servings.
I definitely need to drink more water! Maybe a 1.5 liter bottle would help. And I love smoothies! My recent post is a recipe for yogurt pops which is basically a frozen smoothie :) I love your ideas and will try making them soon!

The bottle helps me because I'm ridiculous and competitive, and if it's still got water in it, I must finish it! I will be checking out your yogurt pop recipes, because they sound healthier for my son than regular popsicles!
DeleteI drink lots of water but like you, tend to just have coffee for breakfast. I think I need to start changing that and these smoothies are a healthy and delicious way to motivate me to do so ;)
ReplyDeleteThat was my biggest motivation: drink SOMETHING before my coffee!
