I'm pretty lazy when it comes to making breakfast and lunch. Dinner, I don't mind spending time to cook, but I'm usually too tired first thing in the morning and, well, I don't really have an excuse for not wanting to prepare a decent lunch, but I don't like doing it. That's why I'm a huge fan of smoothies. It takes what, like a minute to throw a bunch of stuff in a blender? My favorite smoothie recipe uses designer whey powder for protein (you can get it at any health-food store, online or in the organic section of most big grocery stores.) It adds 9 grams of protein per smoothie serving and makes it a more balanced meal. It also uses Crystal Lite in place of plain water, which adds a ton of extra flavor, cuts the weird after taste of the whey protein and only adds 5 calories (depending on the type of Crystal Lite you use). In this smoothie, I used their new mojito flavor. Kraft sent me a free sample and it has a great mint limeade flavor that goes really well with summer berries.
Berry Mojito Smoothie
Ingredients:
2 cups of ice
2 cups frozen mixed berries
1 scoop vanilla designer whey protein

Blend all ingredients in a blender for 3-5 minutes, until it's frothy and has doubled in volume. Pour into glasses. Makes 24oz or 2 servings. Each serving is about 120 calories.
