Fruit Smoothie Of The Day
For those of you who may not know me so well, I absolutely love smoothies!! I have a strange lust for sweet juicy meals and smoothies are a fantastic way of getting in a lot of nutritious and fueling calories into you with little to no effort. I usually start the day with a liter of juice or a big smoothie. I only put in fruit (frozen or fresh depending on what I’ve got), occasionally some greens, and juice, water or coconut water to adjust the consistency.
Today my breakfast/lunch smoothie was made of:
- 6 med/small(ish) bananas ~ 539 cal
- 3 cups of frozen raspberries ~ 191 cal
- 1/2 a pineapple ~ 226 cal
- 1 cup water
Making it about 950 calories broken down to 90.9% carbohydrates, 4.3% fat and 4.7% protein. This was a delicious and energy-packed way to kick off the day. I know some of you might be thinking that 950 calories is a lot for one meal, but it’s all 100% healthy and nutritious calories, low fat and very filling! I love healthy carbs and they love me right back! :)
What are some of your favorite fruit smoothies? Do you like adding anything else to them to make them tastier?
My favourite smoothie is this rawesome mixed berry and banana one. I love smoothies because they’re such an easy way to get a lot of vitamins and nutrient-packed fruit into you without a lot of effort. As much as I would love to stuff my face into several pints of berries each morning, sometimes, time just doesn’t allow for it. Also smoothies are great because they’re easy to digest and don’t leave you feeling weighed down. I add coconut water for a boost of extra hydration. :-)
Happy Tuesday Everybody!
