Healthy Smoothie

[berry_tofu_smoothie.jpg]

I got this recipe from my sister in law who is super duper healthy! She posted it on our family blog and I thought it was worth posting it again on this blog. It is super delicious and is jam-packed with so many fruits. Side Note: this recipe calls for whey protein, which I do not use, because its too expensive, but I do use the flax-seed which is really high in anti-oxidants and omega 3 fatty acids. This is a great healthy breakfast treat! Enjoy

1/2 orange

2-3 strawberries (fresh are best)

1/4-1/2 cup blueberries (I use frozen as long as they have no sugar added)

1/2 ripe banana (green ones are yucky)

1/2 cup plain (unsweetened) fat free yogurt

3 Tbsp flaxseed

1-3 Tbsp whey protein (start with 1 to get used it)

1 Tbsp-ish honey

Water or milk if needed to help liquify

If you use all fresh fruit, add a few ice cubes if you'd like

Thank you so much! And I couldn't agree more that running is the best escape. I'm really eager to get back on my feet more, and on this laptop less. Ha Ha. And yes, I was very dissapointed to hear about Midnight Sun. I enjoy the series, and I hope the person who created the leak understands how he/she has affected a lot of readers and more importantly, the creator of the series. I noticed this recipe in your blog and it looks great. Do you mind if I try it?
