Hhhmmmmm! Smoothies! Such a wonderful treat and they are jam packed with goodness for your body. The above picture I just took to show you what a typical Amy smoothie looks like! I like to try new things but I always tend to go back to this type. It is truly yummy and nutritional. It’s quick, and you can take it on the go. The following is for one person and comes in at just under 200 calories.
Amy’s Tropical Berry Smoothie
200ml of pure orange juice
1 serving of tropical flavoured yogurt
1tbsp of ground flaxseed
1 handful of frozen mixed berries
Simply blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth and enjoy! Enjoy guilt free!! This smooth has two servings of fruit, a serving of dairy and the flaxseed in itself is a goldmine of health.
Flaxseed!
It truly is a miracle food. Flaxseed is loaded with fibre and omega fatty acids! It will expand up to FIVE times its size when it is ingested so it helps reduce your caloric intake if you have some 30 minutes before a meal. Flaxseed is know to help enhance your immune system, keeps your blood sugar in check, lowers the risk of heart disease, and even some cancers. Flaxseed helps keep your digestive system clean and it has been proven to help lower blood pressure. I was talking to my father about this two weeks ago and he said that is not taking anything like flaxseed until his doctor tells him too. Guess what? My father went to visit the doctor about his high blood pressure and you know what the doctor recommended? Flaxseed! LOL My father was not impressed but I plan on buying him his own container of flaxseed today. So go buy some, it could do wonders for your body!
