Coconut Banana Smoothie
Today is day four of my latest weightloss journey. With my past attempts to lose weight and get healthy, I've gotten bored (or should I say, distracted....by chocolate cake?) after a few weeks and fell back to my old eating habits. So, this time, I want to keep from getting bored and also not feel as if I'm being deprived.
I'm trying to add more fruits and veggies to my daily routine. After chomping on carrot and celery sticks for a few days, I'm starting to get bored. Already!
Yesterday, I had the chance to chat online with my cousin LisaLou. Talking to her reminded me the super -yummy smoothies that she would make for breakfast when she would visit us for a weekend. It'll be a while before I can enjoy a smoothie made by LisaLou, since she just moved to another country. So, this morning, I decided to dig out my blender and make myself a smoothie for breakfast.
I misplaced LisaLou's smoothie recipe but I think the smoothie I made today came pretty close to her concoction!
Coconut Banana Smoothie For One
Ingredients:
- 1/2 banana, sliced and frozen
- 6 oz. vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 c. fat free milk
- 2 Tbs. cream of coconut
- dash of coconut extract
Directions:
Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth.
Notes:
I like to add strawberries to my smoothies, but I didn't have any today. Pineapple would be tasty too!
Switch up the yogurt or extract flavors for a variety for smoothie flavors!
In the summer, I like to crush some ice into the smoothie while blending. I like my drinks super-cold. During the winter, the frozen banana is enough to make a cold treat.
I'm so glad that I whipped this up this morning! Such a creamy and healthy breakfast...tastes like dessert!!! I see more smoothies in my future! Thanks, LisaLou, for the inspiration! (xoxo, miss you!)
I'll be sharing this recipe with the following blog carnivals and linkies:
