1 Cup Chocolate Almond milk
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 banana
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
Place almond milk in the blender, then add fruit, yogurt and flax seed. Blend until smooth.
This is really easy to put together for breakfast. I use really ripe bananas because I hate using them for anything else. If you want to boost the protein content then add a bit of protein or whey powder.
Today's Superfoods:
Almond Milk: 100 calories per serviing, 50% more calcium than dairy milk and has zero saturated fat or colesterol. This is a great alterative for vegans or those that are lactose intolerant. I love the chocolate flavor. I drink it post workout or when I want a sweet treat. It is like desert in a glass!!
Ground Flaxseed: They are high in fiber. Two tablespoons have 4 grams of fiber or as much as 1 1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal. They have high levels of anti-oxidants called lignans. Flaxseed has 75% more than any other source. They promote healthy cell activity. Flaxseed is a good source of omega-3's.
