Fruit Smoothies

I’m going to talk about my old standby and favorite thing to have for breakfast, the fruit smoothie. Many ways to make these, but I will tell you how I make it work for my lazy butt.

Once again love to spend my hard earned money at Costco. They have a good selection of frozen fruit that is easily measured. The label will tell you how much to measure out for a certain amount of carbs. I also get my Protein powder from there as well.

Its as easy as:

add a cup of water or more depending on how many blocks you need. (the more fruit, the more water you will need for proper consistency)

add frozen fruit in right amount ( for my four blocks this is usually 2 cups depending on fruit)

Blend some,

add protein powder (use your math to figure how much you need) 28 grams, or 2 scoops for me.

If you’re using fresh fruit add some ice as well. You can also add 1% milk for flavor (you would want to adjust your fruit and protein ratios. 1 cup of milk=1 block of protein and carbs)

Don’t forget to eat your fat blocks with your smoothie. You can toss some almonds into the blender with your smoothie, if you dare. 3 almonds per block.

Use the fruits you like to make your favorite smoothies and enjoy the fact that you are getting a large serving of fruit and eating in the Zone.

My favorite flavor is Blueberry, Raspberry, and Blackberry with vanilla Protein powder.

I hope this helps you stay motivated.

Is anyone reading this? Do you have a good smoothie recipe?
