| I LOVE Strawberries!!!! |
 |
| I only added 3 strawberries for this round, because I added a little extra blueberries. |
 |
| I tend to only shop at Trader Joes! |
 |
| I can't believe I drink this...amazing what a blender can do! |
 |
| Pre-Blend action |
 |
| I blend everything together, and add ice cubes 2 at a time, to make sure they get thoroughly mushed! I can't stand ice chunks in my smoothie, and neither can Stefan...yes, I make him smoothies in the morning too, and yes, he's a VERY lucky guy! ;-) |
 |
| ALL DONE! Time to enjoy and re-fuel! :) Props to Disneyland for a great princess cup to drink my smoothies out of! (Yes, that's my little dog in the background, and Stefan waiting patiently on the couch for me to deliver his breakfast) |
If you get the chance to try this smoothie, I'd love to hear any moderation you've made, or ideas for other great smoothies!?
Cheers to Being Fit N Gorgeous
A reader asked: "So how many grams of protein are in each serving?"
ReplyDeleteMy Answer: "About 20 grams of protein. Adult women need 46 grams of protein a day, and adult men need 56 grams of protein a day. You can always add more liquid egg whites, as long as you can handle the taste, for more protein. Eggs are one of the top sources of protein, as long as you leave the egg yolks out, you eliminate risk of high cholesterol"
