Ok, so one of my New Year's resolutions was to eat more healthy stuff, like fruits and veggies. So, I was thinking about having a smoothie in the morning with some protein powder (whey, not soy) and some fruit. But I also want it to be a super immune booster without being a zillion calories.
Any ideas?
No help here. I eat a grapefruit every morning, a big juicy ruby red grapefruit. No cleaning blenders every day! And for the veggie intake I like to cook raw veggies with dinner. I hope this helped! :cool::biggrin-new:

I got some recipes if you'd like them. Some are an aquired taste. It's a little time consuming, but you double your veggie intake and don't have near the calories.
There's a morning drink called the "green drink" Choked full of vitamins and low cal. But it's not the sweetest thing.
2 cups spinach
1 -2 medium cucumber (approx 2 cups)
1 stalk celery
1/2 inch gingerroot (or 1 teaspoon)
1 bunch chopped parsley (approx 1/2 cup chopped)
2 apples, cored
1 lime, juice of
1/2 lemon, juice of
4 ounces mineral water (or a handful of ice cubes)
You could get a date with one of my goats if you would woo her with a glass of that.Quote:

I use a whey protein isolate that I get from Vitamin Shoppe but they can be found elsewhere, just harder to find than whey protein concentrate.
You can mix most anything with it...many of my friends who drink it, use it in coffee...as in hot protein coffee.
1 - 20 oz shaker cup with wire ball
4 to 6 oz of 1/2 & 1/2, water, or milk
1 to 1 1/2 scoops of protein powder
{shake} until blended
Add 9 to 10 oz of hot brewed coffee
{stir}
Pour into large mug
Add hot liquid to cold liquid to avoid lumps. Keep the protein slurry below 160 degrees.
Correct.Quote:
