Smoothies Smoothies Smoothies!

My favorite thing to eat/drink this summer are smoothies! I drink them often since they are both super yummy and healthy! On the Faster Way to Fat Loss program there are many options to fit them into your eating plan. Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, Resets are all options for getting healthy with Smoothies!

In my effort to get stronger and healthier I have eliminated gluten, dairy and sugar from my diet. These favorite recipes have replaced my sugar laden Smoothie King habit and they are delicious!

First things first … equip your kitchen with my favorite appliance that gets as much use as our oven around here… it’s the Nutribullet! If you don’t have one you MUST check it out! Click here to find the complete 12-piece set on Amazon and get it super quick! Our Nutribullet gets used at least twice a day! We even take it on vacation in our suitcase. It is so much better than a blender for grinding up the greens into small pieces. I don’t like my smoothies tasting like salad!

It’s the best thing for taking on vacation and for gifts, too! It’s small enough that I can even pack it in my suitcase. That way I can enjoy easy meals away from home! I purchase the smaller version Nutribullet as gifts for my college kids & young adult friends and family.
