New Beginnings
So, while I managed to not veer wildly off course during my stay in lovely Baltimore, I did manage to get home and eat everything in sight. Seriously. Everything.
Today begins a new, starting with this week’s break of choice: the fruit smoothie. I have been noticing that every since I reintroduced Go Lean bars into snack repertoire, my diet has been noticeably lacking in fruit. Hence, the breakfast smoothie:
Breakfast Smoothie
1 medium banana (1.5 pts)
1 cup strawberries (0 pts)
½ cup plain, nonfat soymilk (1 pt)
Put it all in a blender, and blend until smooth. Add some ice if you want it look like you have 20 ounces of fruity goodness to consume. Total points: 2.5. Also, for those of you who are WW buffs, this smoothie is also CORE.
I’m finding the smoothie does a couple of things for me. First, it helps me get in two servings of fruit. Second, I can’t eat in three seconds flat, so I spend the majority of the morning sipping, which makes me feel consistently satisfied until lunch time.
