I didn’t sleep in as much as I wanted to this morning. I could hear the rain outside and that woke me up. I decided I wanted to make an Amazing Green Superfood Shake for breakfast so I got up.
The packet of Green Superfood is only 30 calories. I grabbed the oldest banana and some frozen strawberries. Next, I got some protein powder and oats:
The next ingredients I grabbed were the Benefiber and some Oikos Greek yogurt.
I measured out the dry ingredients first. 1 spoonful of Benefiber, Oats and Aria protein, plus the entire packet of the Green food into the Magic Bullet.
Next, 2 spoonfuls of the Greek yogurt. I love the texture yogurt adds to shakes.
Mmmm creamy! I added the frozen strawberries for the taste and also the color. I knew the shake was going to be on the green side and wanted to make it as appealing as possible. 😉
It was starting to get full so I added water. I usually use water instead of milk to save on calories. I can’t tell the difference if there’s milk or water in the shake, so why add calories?
I blended it all together in my Magic Bullet and then checked the flavor and consistency. I decided to add the rest of my banana and some ice cubes.
Instead of being green, the shake was sort of a chocolate color!
But it was delicious! This is what 307 calories look like:
Packed with healthy, good things and the right amount of “food” before I head to the gym! 🙂
QUESTION: Tell me your favorite healthy shake recipe!

I never make shakes because I am afraid they won’t satisfy me. I guess I should invest in a magic bullet.

Give it a try! They are very filling (in my opinion)!

My smoothies are made of frozen fruit, yogurt and milk and maybe some pineapple juice, too.
