As a commitment to healthier diet, I have searched for ways to get more vegetables, fruit and fiber in my diet and one of my favorite ways is with smoothies. Smoothies take only minutes to prepare, if you have the ingredients on hand and are a healthy, high fiber snack that curbs my craving something sweet (as if I am craving a bowl of ice cream in the evening).
A simple fruit and soy milk smoothie is a great low calorie snack. If I were with a smoothie in a meal, as I like to eat lunch, a serving of raw almonds or sometimes I'll mix a tablespoon of oil in the flax smoothie. Do not worry if you use the flax oil mix will not be able to taste, but you get a healthy dose of omega-3s. The extra calories are worth it, since the addition or a handful of nuts or flax oil will definitely improve the diet and help to fill out.
Mixers are a good thing for smoothies, but I prefer using the Magic Bullet is sold online and in some department stores. There are also similar versions that would probably just as well. You have to maintain if you keep some ice frozen strawberries and blueberries on hand in the freezer. For bananas will make sure that you slice it before freezing in plastic containers.
Both recipes have a serving and come in less than 200 calories. Calories are approximate, depending on what kind of milk you. When adding flax oil to be around 300 calories per serving.
