My 5 Favorite things about my morning smoothie

This is an incredibly stupid post, but hey, I'm working through some pretty big stuff in real life and I really just wanna be stupid on here for a post.

1. It's like having a milk shake for breakfast
2. It's fast and easy
3. IT'S LIKE HAVING A MILK SHAKE FOR BREAKFAST!!!
4. I have SO MUCH energy since I've made the switch
5. I've lost 8lbs in 8 days...smoothie power? I'm a believer

And now for the SAL smoothie recipie.

I buy IQF (Idividually Quick Frozen) blueberries, strawberries, and mango chunks. I also IQF my own banana's after they get over ripe (banana's are the key to the icecreamy milk shake texture) To make enough smoothie for me, wifey, and my 10:30 snack at work the night before I pull out my digital kitchen scale, put on my my blender caraf and add:

3/4c Skim Milk
3/4c Grape Juice, Pom Juice, or Acai Nectar (pick one and go with it) Pure sugar free juice please.
1 frozen banana broken into chunks
I then hit the "tare" function button (this sets the scale to '0')
Add:
4oz Mango and "tare"
4oz Strawberries and "tare"
6oz Blueberries and "tare"
cap of pure vanilla extract

Lid up and put in the fridge over night (thaws just enough that it blends easily but not so much that it isnt still a heavenly MILK SHAKE FOR BREAKFAST!!!

Buzz it up, pour into two tall glass and 1 travel mug and you're in smoothie heaven. I can't wait until tomorrow.

Thanks for reading
