My new year is, or should I say, has to be healthier! More whole foods, veggies and fruits, less meat. Today I honor the smoothie! It tastes so great, especially right now that I am under the weather. It's packed with good stuff!
Here is my recipe:
1/2 cup strawberry kefir (you can use yogurt but kefir is a good thing)
1/2 cup frozen blue berries
2/3 cup frozen strawberries
1 packet of stevia sweetener
Just enough fresca soda to loosen it all up
Run it all through the blender and enjoy!
Here's the best part; "155" calories! That makes 2 cups of smoothie! That is a belly buster! That my friend is a meal! I can so enjoy these while trying to be more health conscience!
If you are making it for kiddos or making this a meal, you may want to increase the protein by using a whole cup of Lifeway Kefir (11 grams of protein) which only adds 70 more calories and use fruit juice in place of diet soda. They will love it.
I challenge you all to do some research to see the great benefits of Kefir. I have only found it at Giant Eagle in Meadville. In the dairy isle.
Today has been a good food day, oatmeal and blueberries, that wonderful smoothy, and I am cooking up a pot of beef barley soup!
This is my thought for today. Thinking of all things healthful. Feed your mind and your body only good things. =)
