Smoothie: the lunch gamechanger

Stomach process brought to you by DIET - bring on the good juice

There are millions of recipes, Instagram posts, blogs, tweets, snaps of beautifully crafted smoothies... but for some odd reason, I never jumped on boat. Well, the best thing about weddings (sorry Jared, you're okay too though) is getting gifts and I busted out the food processor for the first time yesterday. It's safe to say I will never go back, even if it's a total pain to clean. Here's my thing about smoothies though... Make them at home! Why waste $10 on a smoothie you can't portion out yourself with additional unknown sugars when you can do it all at home for a small price? There are SO many options to chose from. Kale, blueberries, strawberries, almond butter, coconut milk, raspberries, flax seeds, protein powder, cocoa bits. The list is endless.

So, to stick with this new obsession - I will be posting a new smoothie recipe weekly. This week's I will call "I accidentally used my fiance's year old expired protein powder.. First Day Smoothie"

I promise these photos will improve each week too..

1 scoop GNC Wheybolic Power Protein Powder (check the expiration...)

1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Almond Milk

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

1/2 cup frozen cherries

1 tbsp. almond butter

1/2 cup kale

These smoothies are perfect for lunch haters like me. I am all about the breakfast foods and constantly looking for that mid-day meal that won't overdo it on the carbohydrates. This is the perfect boost to get you through the afternoon slump. Enjoy!
