Holly Jahangiri's Morning Smoothie Recipe

Wait no further - I've got the goods right here for you! I wrestled them out of her Monday morning via a Facebook thread. Now you too can start your day off right, and get those neural symapses firing at optimal speed! Not to mention keep things *ahem* moving right along.

A clean colon is a happy colon! If that ain't Happymaking nothing is.


Holly Jahangiri's Morning Smoothie

Ingredients (per person):

  • 1/3 c. Kellogg's All Bran Buds (ground separately in blender or food processor to consistency of flour and removed to be added later)
  • 3/4 c. frozen fruit (any kind), slightly thawed
  • 1/2 large banana
  • 1/2 c. milk or yogurt
  • 3/4 c. water (I use water to thaw the fruit in a measuring cup and just dump it all into the blender)

"Start by blending frozen fruit, water, and milk/yogurt. Slowly add All Bran Buds (preferably with blender running) and banana. Blend until mixture reaches desired consistency. Drink up!



My daughter thinks it's a bit like baby food with the All Bran, but it's a great way to get almost half your daily fiber intake in one tasty smoothie."



Check out more of Holly's Recipes on her SparkRecipes page! I had to set one up for myself as well. I keep starting with SparkPeople and not following through. This time I'm going to do better. I'm still nursing, though, and I'm terrified at the thought of my milk drying up if I drastically alter my way of eating.

On that note, you might also want to check out this Daily Spark post "Peek inside the fridge of a fitness expert". I'm going to use it to inspire me when I'm making out my next shopping list.

Have a great day!

    Marie, thanks! I'm going to have more fun with my posts. :)

    Jannie, you do smoothies too? What have I been missing all these years? Bran muffins are yummy. I think I'll make some and freeze them.
