Tip of the Day: Have a Smoothie!

Fruit Smoothies!

This is a tip from my beautiful, talented and brilliant sister-in-law, Angie. Here's what she says, "Lately, I've been making smoothies with some ice cream for my afternoon snack. It satisfies the sweet tooth, but gets the fruit in too. I'm starting a basketball league with my friends and I'll still be playing soccer, so that gives me 2 workouts a week!" Go Ang! Thanks for the tip.

I just have to add that we've been making fruit smoothies for breakfast in the mornings and we use yogurt, juice, milk, frozen strawberries and a banana.

Banana-Orange-Strawberry Fruit Shake

1 cup vanilla yogurt

1/2 cup orange juice

1 banana,

10 frozen strawberries

1/2 cup skim milk

1 heaping tbsp. high- quality protein powder (optional)

1 tsp. flax oil (optional)

In a blender, process all the ingredients until thoroughly mixed and serve.
