Smoothies may not always satisfy us. The idea of a quick and nutritious meal on the go is enticing, but can often leave us hungry for more. After playing around with several recipes, I finally found the secret to a satisfying smoothie. In all of these recipes you'll see 2% Greek yogurt. This yogurt averages 17 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat per serving. This helps provide more meal satisfaction than a plain fruit smoothie. The protein, fat, and fiber from fruit makes for a very satisfying meal on the go. |

Smoothie Tips:
- When your bananas get ripe and start to brown, don't throw them out. Peel the bananas, place in a freezer safe ziploc bag and freeze until ready for use. This way you have a nice frozen banana for your smoothie. This makes the smoothie consistency nice and thick!
- Don't be afraid to add dark leafy greens to your smoothie creations. The taste won't overpower the other ingredients. This ensures you're getting a serving or more of veggie at breakfast... which is always hard to do.
- Add a tablespoon of ground Flaxmeal to your smoothie! You're getting a healthy dose of mono-unsaturated fats and providing additional satisfaction power to your on the go meal.
