Oprah’s Smoothie Recipe
Some smoothies suck.
Recently I saw an Oprah episode featuring her “special” smoothie recipe. Now, I adore Oprah but I have to tell you her smoothie sucked. 
Here were her ingredients: chocolate soy milk, 4 strawberries and ½ banana. And oh yeah, don’t forget 2 luscious ice cubes. Yum . . . .
Instead, try one of my favorite smoothies. If you have even semi-normal taste buds you are going to go freakin nuts when you try it. You may even become addicted to it like my mother.
I mean, here is the part where I am supposed to tell you how lovely it is for a breakfast with a perfect ratio of protein, carbs, and healthy fats, not to mention a great source of calcium. Instead, I’ll just let you know you are going to end up sucking down this puppy for breakfast lunch and dinner.
Here it is:
–1 Cup plain yogurt or Kefir (a probiotic beverage = liquid-like yogurt but lower in sugar)
–¾ C water
–1 TBSP Flax Seed
–1 Scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
–1 frozen pear or apple (slice and then freeze)
–1 Scoop Sambazon Acai powder
–2 TBSP natural peanut butter
–2 Ice cubes (Oprah’s contribution)
–1 Stevia packet
What the hell is Stevia? Stevia is a gift from God to fat girls. Seriously, you gotta get this stuff. Trader Joes, Whole Foods, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, it is actually quite easy to find.
Stevia is an ALL - NATURAL, no calorie, no carb, no sugar, no nothing, plant extract that is extremely sweet. An extraordinary alternative to artificial sweeteners that I am squeamish about ingesting too regularly lest my unborn children have 4 four heads.
Anyway, this shake is the bomb, you’re gonna looooooooove it.
