Banana Yogurt Smoothie
2/3 of a frozen banana
1 container low calorie yogurt
1 scoop of protein powder
1/2 cup cold water
Blend until smooth. The frozen banana makes the drink creamy and rich. You can experiment with the yogurt. Strawberry, cherry, vanilla and respberry and orange are some of my favorites.
The entire drink is about 300 calories. You will get about 25 grams of protein a 1 or 2 grams of fat and 40 grams of carbs. Not too shabby for a very tasty morning drink.
Those are the basics, play with them and lets' share ideas. Remember to keep an eye on the bottom line: calorie/protein/fat content. I've been to smoothie shops and some of the concoctions are diet busters. I've seen 900 calorie smoothies. so read the lable and ask what is in it before you assume it's a good choice for you diet program.
(tip peel and break up the banana before you freeze it, my first approach was to freeze a unpeeled banana. Let me assure you that the peel is much easier to remove when the fruit is at room temp) Store the banana in a sealed plastic container or a zip lock bag in the freezer.
