A healthy snack in under 200 calories
During the summer you might feel too warm to cook a hot meal. Sure, you could eat a salad, but you don’t always have time to make one or to sit and chew for 20 minutes like you’re a rabbit. You must be thinking, “There’s got to be a better way!” There is a better way, and it’s called smoothies.As a dedicated powerlifter, self-declared fitness junkie, and a three-time world record holder, I know the value of a good smoothie recipe. Here is an easy, healthy, breakfast or snack you can make in just five minutes.
Ingredients:
- Your choice of protein powder (1 scoop or 30 to 35g)
- 1/3 cup of frozen blueberries
- 1/3 cup of frozen strawberries
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk
- Cinnamon, to taste
Directions:
- Put all ingredients into blender.
- Blend.
- Pour into a tall glass and enjoy!

Other alternatives you can add in your smoothie are:
- Peanut butter or any nut butters; this will increase the fat content making you full for longer
- Avocado; try adding ⅓ cup of avocado for a smoother/creamier texture
- One teaspoon of chia seeds; almost tasteless and an excellent source of omega-3, chia seeds provide antioxidants, iron and calcium
