Recipe: Pink Berry Strawberry Smoothie
Ok, I feel like a pro at smoothies. I have made them for years and authored at least 20-30 recipes. I drink them several days a week, and I feel better if I have one. I think the pink and purple or citrus smoothies are my favorites, but I can tolerate some of the green ones. This recipe combines healthy fats from chia seeds and flax meal. Flax meal is high in fiber, and 73% of the fat is polyunsaturated. Chia seeds are equally impressive a decent source of protein and fiber. I have added a base of Fairlife nonfat milk for protein and fluid. The berries add enough sweetness to absolve the need for sugar. This simple smoothie has enough fiber and protein to keep you full all morning long.

Very little research has involved newer cell phone applications as a means to monitor. The good news is that today, you have multiple options to follow your diet, weight, exercise, and just about anything that might affect weight loss.

This type of advice might seem to make sense because we are less active at night, but it is also misleading. Weight gain is more about what and how much you eat and not back when you eat it. The belief that separates fact from fiction when it comes to late-night eating and weight gain.
