I have never met a smoothie I didn't like. Seriously. It's hard to beat the refreshing fruit flavor of an ice cold smoothie! They can be a great part of getting back on track and eating as part of a balanced lifestyle. I also love making them for my kids because I can sneak in spinach or oats without them even knowing ;) My kids all love strawberries (except for one), so I experimented in the kitchen and created an awesome smoothie that my pickiest daughter said is "the best smoothie you ever made, mom!" And that's from the girl who won't eat a strawberry. Crazy, right?
This strawberries and cream smoothie has only 4 ingredients, and is so smooth, creamy, and delicious- you'll love it! When I was at Walmart this week I picked up some Sugar-Free French Vanilla Coffee-Mate, which might sound like a funny thing for a girl who doesn't drink coffee to buy. BUT, did you know that Coffee-Mate is a great addition to fruit smoothies? It gives them a nice, creamy taste and consistency.
I hope you enjoy this tasty recipe as much as we did! This recipe will make one large smoothie or two smaller servings. You can also use it as a springboard for adding your own favorite blends of fruit (on the second batch I added a banana, which was great, too), and even add in some oats, flax seed, or any other healthy additions you'd like!
Strawberries and Cream Smoothie:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup Sugar-Free French Vanilla Coffee-Mate
- 1 tsp. honey (or agave nectar, sugar, or any sugar substitute)
Blend all the ingredients in a blender, and blend thoroughly. Pour, drink, and enjoy!
While at Walmart I also picked up a few other grocery items to help me get back on track. It is January, after all, and my new year's resolutions are all in full swing!
I bought some Lean Cuisine® Sesame Chicken, Lean Cuisine® Simple Favorites Macaroni and Cheese, Lean Cuisine® Morning Collection Turkey Sausage English Muffins, Lean Cuisine® Creamy Balsamic Chicken Wrap Additions, and Lean Cuisine® Three Cheese & Spinach Stuffed Pretzels…. yum!!
The Sesame Chicken was out of this world, and actually looked just like it did on the package! It tasted really really good, too, and was the perfect meal to eat with my strawberries and cream smoothie.
And for those times when my sweet tooth is getting the best of me, I bought some Skinny Cow Divine Candy, which are basically delicious square chocolates that are filled with caramel and are oh so tasty.
So how do you stay on track with your goals for the next year? I'd love to hear in the comments below!
