I love smoothies for breakfast. I find them very filling. Smoothies are also a delicious way to start off with fruit, vegetable and "milk" to check off your "Healthy Checks". I've discovered that by making a smoothie with fat and protein in it, I am not hungry until lunch time. I am sure most people trying to lose weight would not want to use so many points for breakfast, but for me having too few points at breakfast time means being too hungry at or before lunch. Next thing I know, I am overeating the remainder of the day.
Cherry-Almond Smoothie ~ 8 PointsPlus
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Original Almond Milk
1 cup of frozen dark sweet cherries
1/2 cup of baby spinach torn into smaller pieces
2 tablespoons of Hemp Powder
1/8 teaspoon of almond extract
Directions
Blend ingredients in a blender. Pour into a large glass and enjoy.
Note: I find making smoothies in a more powerful blender makes life easier. You do not need to break the bank to obtain a decent blender.
