When you’re trying to live a healthy lifestyle by eating right, getting exercise and enough sleep, eating healthy may be the obstacle for you. Many people are not willing to stop by a store and pick up some fruit, but rather some spicy cheesy chips (which is processed food and not good for a healthy diet). But i’ll tell you what, start picking up some fruit! You’ll need to have a blender as well so that you can make an amazing smoothie. This will hold you off between lunch and dinner. It is called the Almond Berry Banana Yogurt Smoothie. For this recipe you will need:
4 large strawberries
1/2 banana
1/2 cup blueberries
3 ounces greek yogurt
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)
12 raw almonds
3 ice cubes
The additional benefits of this smoothie include having more energy, fulfilling your appetite (it gives you satiety so you won’t even need dinner later on), helping with weight loss, and please your taste buds. This is due to all of the fiber from the fruits and nuts.
Smoothies are a fun way to get the nutritional benefits from your fruits and vegetables. If you’re one of those people who don’t like to eat plain fruits and vegetables, then spice up the way you eat them.

This recipe idea is from www.popsugar.com. The original ingredients for it were soy yogurt and soy milk because it’s intended as a vegan smoothie recipe. In this article it was substituted for greek yogurt and unsweetened coconut/almond milk. However, if you are Vegan, then opt for the soy ingredients. Just be sure to get it organic because soy ingredients are GMO unless they are otherwise confirmed as organic.
