This weeks five point challenge is to add a smoothly or shake to your diet plan.
If you have them on a regular basis, try something new, make a different flavor.
The goal is to provide your body with additional fruits or vegetables that your body needs but is probably not getting.

1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 cup pineapple juice
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup ice (if using fresh pineapple)0 -
My favorite is:
1/3 frozen banana sliced
1/2 cup frozen berries
1/2 scoop strawberry protein powder
about 1/2 cup water (adjust to how you like it)
Blend it up for a yummy smoothie!
As a variation I added a teaspoon of cocoa powder...but didn't like it as much.0 -
Done!
I normally have a shake for breakfast everyday but I switched it up today.
Normal shake:
1 Banana
1 scoop vanilla Shakeology
Ice
Water
Today's shake:
1 Banana
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1/4 cup frozen raspberries
2 large frozen strawberries
1 scoop vanilla Shakeology
Water
Definitely prefer my normal shake! This one almost reminds me of cough syrup!

Your normal shake sounds really good since I am a very bland eater....where can I get the Shakeology stuff? Also, how much ice and how much water?0 -
I can report that the Pineapple and Ginger smoothie was delicious (if you like ginger, which I do) - let's see if it give me an energy boost for my noontime cardio class...0

I order Shakeology online through BeachBody! If you're interested I could PM you with some details as I'm a Beachbody coach!
As for ice and water, I usually put my whole banana in, fill my magic bullet cup almost to the top with ice, put my scoop of Shakeology in and than fill the rest with water! A lot of people enjoy putting almond milk in instead of water too:)0 -
Mine was a slight variation - I wanted to try almond milk, so I kept it simple - just almond milk, strawberries and a banana...loved it. This was the first time I have used almond milk - gotta say I liked it a lot.0

I couldn't make one myself, so I went to a juice bar and bought one that's called "Hangover cure".
It has mango, pineapple, lime, ginger and freshly squeezed orange juice as its ingredients. (And some ice cubes too...)
I don't know how much of everything is in it, but mostly orange juice.
It's my favorite!0 -
Wendy's Frosty:
3/4 cup almond milk
About 10 ice cubes
1/2 tsp vanilla
1-2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 banana
It tastes really good. I added less ice and it came out more like a milk shake.0 -
