Shhh...this is my secret weapon!
But I'm going to share it with you, and only YOU! It's my berry power smoothie recipe! I drink a smoothie almost every morning and it starts my day off right. It's healthy, nutritious, and DELICIOUS...and it keeps you satisfied for hours, doesn't cause BG spikes (at least not for me) and gives me that boost of energy to get moving.
Michele's Berry Power Smoothie
6-8 ice cubes
1 cup frozen blueberries (I sometimes use strawberries, blackberries, or a mixture)
1 heaping tablespoon of ground flax seed
1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
2/3 cup of water
2 tablespoons of heavy cream
*you can play with the ice cube/water ratio for thicker/thinner smoothie consistency...but these measurements are what I have found are "perfect" for my particular tastes.
Toss all the ingredients into the blender, and "whir" away until it's a thick, SMOOTH consistency...ENJOY!!
