Almond/Peanut Butter Peach Blueberry Smoothie

Another morning, another tasty smoothie!


This is the almond, peanut butter, peach, blueberry smoothie, and yes, it has all those things!
It's kind of chewy, but maybe I just needed to let it blend longer.
Here's what you need:
  • 1 cups spinach
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 peaches, pitted
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 tbs peanut butter
This one is a bit more hearty than the previous few, thanks, peanut butter!  But it is very good, and filling!
Here's the skinny:
  • 265 calories
  • 33g carbs
  • 14g fat
  • 9g protein
  • 289mg sodium
  • 22g sugar
125 of those calories come straight from the peanut butter, so it you wanted to substitute it with light or even almond or another nut butter, that would work really well, too!

B-Limey Strawberry Smoothie

Hey, it's day 2 of the smoothie challenge!  This is another tasty, even healthier concoction.



Super simple ingredients:
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup strawberries
Blend and enjoy!

This recipe serves 2 (great for couples! or for seconds during the day!) and here's the caloric breakdown:
  • 115 calories
  • 28g carbs
  • 1g fat
  • 3g protein
  • 26mg sodium
  • 18g sugar
Truthfully, it tastes even better than yesterday's smoothie, even if it is a little tart.

Cherry On Top Smoothie

Hiya, folks.

As has probably been noticed if you're following me, I'm doing a complete weight loss, food diary, transformation, accountability thing right now.  In my first week of just counting calories, I lost 4 pounds.  I am elevating the next 30 days with a smoothie challenge, Slim Fast challenge, and continuing to count calories.

So, I thought I would blog about my smoothies here, too.  Day One Smoothie One is called the Cherry on Top.

This smoothie is the easiest thing in the world to make:

  • 2 cups spinach
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup cherries, pitted
Blend and enjoy!

This recipe serves 2 (great for couples! or for seconds during the day!) and here's the caloric breakdown:
  • 186 calories
  • 46g carbs
  • 0g fat
  • 7g protein
  • 83mg sodium
  • 28g sugar
So, it's super healthy, super tasty, and super good for you because it's full of super foods.  :)
