Ok, today is the day…I’m working towards getting back to a more healthy lifestyle and starting some of my summer goals (check out My Summer To-Do List post). I power walked two miles this morning and plan on doing some strength training this afternoon. It’s ten in the morning and I have already drank three bottles of water. I’m not trying to toot my own horn…I’m hoping that posting my progress will keep me motivated.
I thought I would share a healthy recipe with you today…this one is by Betty Crocker and is one of my favorite morning drinks.
Wake-Up Shake
1 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
½ cup frozen berries (I usually use a mix of raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries)
¼ cup orange juice
1 medium banana, cut into chunks
Place all ingredients in blender. Cover and blend on high speed about 30 seconds or until smooth. Serve immediately.
