Smoothie for Breakfast


I woke up very sore this morning. I am not sure how to make myself "unsore". I hate to take pills, but I think I see a Motrin in my future. My lower back is tight (which almost never happens) and behind my balking left knee.

So, this a.m., I felt a little hungry but did not feel like a green drink (I do still have one cup of yesterday's in my fridge). So I mixed up a banana-mango smoothie.

Ingredients:

.75 c. frozen mango
2 scoops Lean 1 vanilla
.25 c. frozen banana
1 cup soy milk
1 tbsp. flaxseed
8 oz. Fage 0% greek yogurt

So, my calorie count is high on this smoothie, but I felt like I needed it (given no dinner last night after the big run).

Calories: 591
Carbs : 51
Fat: 15
Protein: 55

Pretty high calorie count, but my body craved it this morning. Plus, with the smoothie, a lot stays in my blender, so I don't know how accurate it is.

Green drink for breakfast

I am hooked on Amazing Grass. I feel so energized. I don't think it is mind over matter. So for today's drink I used the following ingredients (all go into the blender & ground up to a smooth consistency, as pictured):

Chocolate Amazing Grass packet
1 cup nonfat milk
1 banana
1 cup spinach
1 cup blueberries
1 ripe banana
1/2 serving Lean 53, vanilla flavor (for protein)

Total calories for breakfast: 412
Fat 6
Protein 23 (yeah)
Carbs 73
