Pick Me Up Breakfast Smoothie

Here’s a fantastic recipe submitted by Cheryl Salter from Beaufort, NC (once voted coolest small town in America).  Cheryl leads an active lifestyle and drinks this healthy, low-cal superfood smoothie every morning.

“My life is full of water sports, like kiteboarding (pass certified instructor) and stand up paddle boarding as well as sailboat racing. I am blessed to live on the east coast of North Carolina where I catch fresh clams, shrimp and fish to enjoy with my family. Drinking smoothies are a way for me to get my vitamins and that boost of energy needed to keep me going. I drink this “Pick Me Up” smoothie every morning. My motto is live to inspire before I expire!” - Cheryl Salter

    I need the grams of protein and how many total grams of sugar this has.  I am on a very restricted post gastric bypass diet.

      Add Greek Yogurt for protein…1 cup has around 13 grams of protein.

    This is a good recipe, you can eliminate bananas and just add frozen berries, use almond milk or coconut milk, I add a lot more spinach, it doesn't alter the taste much, and I use a protein powder. I mix it up every morning. This breakfast has helped me lose a lot of weight.
