17 Day Diet Day 1

Well today was the first day and I feel like I ate a ton of food but was still shy of the 1200 calorie mark that I should be at.  Lesson learned more food for breakfast. Since that is the case I'm going to share one of my breakfast recipes with you all....my berry smoothie.

 Strawberry Smoothie

Ingredients:
6oz plain non fat Greek Yogurt
1 Tbls flax see oil
1/2 cup plain Kefir (1% is all I could find but somewhere out there is a fat free)
1 cup frozen berries (strawberries is what I use but other berries would work just fine)

Process:
Put wet ingredients into a blender first and then add frozen fruit
Blend for 2-3 mins (I stop part way through and scrape sides down)
Pour into glass and enjoy or refrigerate over night (freezing makes it too hard in the AM to drink)

Tip:
I buy fresh berries and freeze them, much cheaper (especially in the spring/summer) and easy to do.
Take berries and prep (wash, strain, cut up etc)
Lay on cookie sheet on waxed paper and stick in freezer for about an hour
Then pack in individual serving size Ziploc to store for easy use
