How have I managed to survive this long without smoothies? Finally I have found something that is healthy, satisfying, and easy to prepare that I actually look forward to eating. I am following the recipes in the book The Abs Diet. In most cases, the base consists of 3/4 cup oatmeal, some 1% milk, some yogurt, some whey powder and some ice cubes.
My favorite so far is the one that I've been eating for breakfast, made with chocolate whey powder and a little bit of peanut butter. I had another one last night made with mixed frozen berries (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries) which was very good. Tonight I had one with just blueberries which was not great (too bland, needed something tart in the mix).
I also had one the other night that had 1/8 cup of frozen orange juice concentrate and a banana. I'm not overly fond of banana-flavored anything so that is one I will probably not make again. I'm trying to think of something else to use with the orange juice concentrate. I may try it with some lemon-flavored yogurt. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
