Been suffering from a lack of appetite lately and smoothies do just the trick! They are a great way to easily get an additional serving or two of veggies - not to mention extra calories - into my diet. But, yes, folks, you heard that right. If you are trying to lose weight, understand that drinking anything other than water or plain coffee or tea is a great way to take in additional calories. This is why we counsel weight loss clients to be very careful about what they drink because the odd juice here, milk in the coffee there, do add up to many extra calories at the end of the day.
Back to smoothies though...I always try to put kale in my smoothie as it's a vitamin and mineral powerhouse! I just recently discovered that pineapple and kale go very well together. This smoothie pictured contains:
- 1 banana
- 1 giant leaf of fresh kale
- 1/2 cup fresh pineapple
- 1/2 cup Arthur's green energy smoothie drink
- 1/3 cup lactose-free milk
Very delicious and fast and easy to make.
