I know it is still summer,  I don't know about you but I have had some fun with dips and chips this week!  Whether I was in the pool, at the beach - there was always a bowl of creamy onion dip and chips and I never checked - but I bet it wasn't fat-free sour cream used to prepare the dip. So it is now the time for me to get it together and get back on track.  I don't get how people tell me they loose weight in the summer - between barbeque, fun drinks, and dip - I am a goner!!  This summer was a little worse for me because I had an operation so excersize was really out of the question so I am ready to get myself refocused!  Nothing better than a green smoothie with yummy leafy greens and it looks pretty.  green smoothie

 

I like to use fat free vanilla yogurt. Dannon makes Fit and Light which is fat free and delicious!  It is great on its own with fruit - but a super addition to smoothies.  Then adding in leafy spinach, kale, avocado and rounding it out with chia seeds  - a really nutrient enriched smoothie.  Chia seeds are a super food so any chance to add them into what I am eating it is always a plus!  If you like your smoothies a little sweeter, feel free to add raw honey or a sweetener of your choice.  I love this in the morning - its so quick and easy to prepare and its filling.  Great before taking a long walk or going to the gym.green smoothie
