We all know that eating healthy and incorporating fruits and
veggies into our diet is important but it may not always be easy. If you have a
hectic lifestyle then eating right can seem like a chore. I do the best I can
by reading labels, making all my dishes with low-fat ingredients and using extra lean meats. I also consume a lot of leafy greens like bok choy, spinach,
rapini, kale, salads and I whip up healthy desserts and snacks.
Recently I purchased a NutriBullet machine which makes
creating healthy meals, drinks and snacks faster and more convenient. I like
this machine because it is small and less bulky than a large juicer or blender. It is also
powerful and easy to use.

One of the main reasons we got this machine was to make
hearty, delicious smoothies. Today I am going to share one of my quick, sweet
and very satisfying yogurt and berries smoothie recipes. This smoothie is quite filling, which makes it a great breakfast or lunch on the go. Sometimes I also add a leaf of kale to this recipe.
Ingredients:
-Frozen strawberries
- ½ Frozen banana (ripe)
-Skim milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
-1 peach yogurt cup (I used the Activia yogurt with added fiber)
-Frozen mango pieces
-Blueberries
-Almonds
- 1 kale leaf (optional)
- 1 kale leaf (optional)
This recipe is simple but delicious! I prefer smoothies that are creamy and don't have many seeds. Sometimes I also add some spinach to make it even more healthy. If you are interested in this machine I purchased mine at Walmart for $98.
