Healthy Eating Sunday: Smoothie Recipes

Sexy in 6: Sculpt Your Body with the 6 Minute Quick-Blast Workout

Confession here: I currently have 4 books half-read all over my house (YOU on a Diet, Sexy in 6 by Tracey Mallet, Eat, Pray Love by Rachel Gilbert, and Broken for You by Stephanie Kallos). Wherever I am, there is a book plus 4 issues of Women’s Health, and a 50 page document from Al Lyman on the marathon plan. Today, I focused on Tracey Mallet’s Sexy in 6 and although the title bugs me; I think the content is solid. I love to read and this blog has really forced me into an education that I NEEDED in the area of food. Our breakfast here is either old-fashioned oats with nuts and raisins or cold Kashi cereal. We could use some new recipes to mix up the old stand-bys. I’d like to focus on a few very tasty smoothie recipes that offer a great variety of fruit and protein.

BERRY PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

1 cup blueberries or strawberries

1/2 pomegranate juice

1/2 cup light soy milk

1 scoop whey protein powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 tablespoon of freshly ground flaxseeds

PAPAYA PINEAPPLE PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

1/2 ripe papaya

1/2 fresh or froz. pineapple

1/2 frozen strawberries

1 cup coconut water

1 scoop whey powder

1 tablespoons flaxseeds

BANANA SMOOTHIE

1 sm. banana

1/2 cup frozen strawberries

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon almond butter

You readers have suggestions for me? What do you eat for breakfast? How many of you would make a smoothie with coconut water for breakfast (where to buy?) that?
