SMOOTHIE TIME! My very own amazing recipes .

SO recently I recieved my SIGNED copy of Bob Harper's new book, The Skinny Rules. I have been reading it every evening, and I LOVE IT. A few days ago, I bought a blender. For a mid day boost and meal replacement, I have had real fruit smoothies, with vanilla almond milk, banana and/or Greek yogurt to sweeten it and make it creamy.
 Each recipe is about two servings because I have been making my husband drink them with me and he LOVES them! If you don't have someone to share the epic goodness with, just save it for another serving later! If you want to make it more of a dessert type of thing, add a dollop of fat free whipped cream on top! By using "no sugar added" frozen fruit, you get the same nutrition, and you eliminate the need to to use ice in the smoothie!! Bob Harper approved! Blend on high and YUM!

When I need a protein boost in the middle of the day I also add one scoop of "Jillian Michael's Vanilla Whey Protein Powder" to any of these. Here are a few recipe combos I have tried, enjoy!
