A Smoothie A Day: The Beginning

I love a delicious smoothie. Strawberry banana is my jam. Not to mention pina coloda. I am constantly looking for a good fruit smoothie, so when I came across a pin about healthy breakfast smoothies, naturally, my curiosity was piqued. Let's face it. As a college student, I eat anything but healthy. I mean, I find myself going 10+ hours without eating sometimes for lack of time or money. And when I do eat, especially homemade food, I practically binge because who knows when I can have this luxury again. So if there's a way I can drink a delicious smoothie for breakfast that keeps me full for longer and doesn't make me feel guilty, then why not? I guess it just means I'm going to have to wake up an extra 10 minutes early (sigh).

I have already done research on what makes a healthy and filling breakfast smoothie. The ingredients you use have to have: protein, fiber, and an equal amount of sugars and carbs. And don't forget that yummy taste! Here are the ingrients that I am keeping on hand to meet those requirements:

• Greek Yogurt
• Protein Powder
• Spinach
• Frozen Bananas, Berries, and Pineapples
• Honey
• Cream of Coconut

I'm going to experiment with different combinations and I'll be posting my results here. So, stay tuned for plenty of yummy smoothie recipes as I embark on this adventure with my $7.99 personal Black Friday blender (yay for holiday sales!). In the mean time, check out some more life blogposts
