Smooth Mondays-Free smoothies!

I think that one of the best things that are healthy, cheap, and easy are smoothies!  Where else can you pack vitamins, minerals, protein, antioxidants, and fiber into an easy meal that you can take on the go?!  I always promote smoothies for the busy, non-breakfast eater, for something that is a bit easier on the stomach in the mornings and can quickly be made up in the blender the night before and poured into a protein shaker that is easy to grab on the go in the AM.  They are also great post workout, a perfect combination of carbohydrates and protein to help your body recover!  Making your own smoothies has a vast amount of benefits:
-You can make them all-natural
-They will have no added sugar
-They are CHEAPER

and don't fall for all the additive supplements marketed to be "good" for your health.  A simple smoothie recipe is as follows:

-1 cup milk (Provides protein)
-1/2 cup greek yogurt (Provides added protein and probiotics)
-1/2 cup frozen mixed fruit (Provides antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, carbohydrates)
-5-6 ice cubes




Join me your dietitian here at the wellness center and my co-blogger Sherry, as we let you taste test some smoothies for FREE!  We will be in the RMC this Monday, November 15th from 1pm until 4pm blending you up some goodness.  I will also be there to answer your nutrition questions and you will have the opportunity to book a free nutrition consultation with me!
