smoothie recipe

I had a vegetarian lunch again today and decided to make a smoothie so that I could add my protein powder to it since the lunch  only had a tiny bit of protein.

This is what I came up with
                                                                                    Calories              gms Protein
5 oz apple with skin on (I blended this first)                       64                           0
1 cup frozen strawberries                                                  50                           1
4 oz plain Greek yogurt                                                     50                           7
1 Scoop unflavoured protein powder                               110                         21
1 tsp vanilla
1 tablespoon fat free milk

Total                                                                               274                          29

I divided this into 2 servings so each serving was calories 167  and protein  14.5 gms.  Also this gives me two fruit servings in the total mixture.

You can also add sweetner to this - I didn't because I find I like the natural taste better. Also I left the skin on the apple for the fiber!

Also, I see that I have a 30th follower so I was to say Hi to Linda - can you let me have your blog address when I clicked on your name it didn't give me one.

Its wonderful to be eating solid foods again - everything tastes so good - but I find I am getting full very quickly (even without any fill in my band)  and that is great .

Hope everyone is having great day!

  1. I looked so forward to solid foods too. It's amazing how boring it gets when you don't get that great chewing action. Glad all is going well.
