The recent event of cardiac arrest threw me for a loop. Not one to be down for long, I am doing as much research as I can while I recover. Eating, the way I know it, has become a thing of the past. It is quite a challenge for me not to grab my morning scone and half pot of coffee. Not that I ate bad, but I did not keep track of sodium and sugar in my diet, nor did I eat the amount of protein that my body needed. That is something that I have to do from now on so I've been in search of recipes that will satisfy me and meet the requirements of my new found health plan. This smoothie recipe is a great low sodium recipe that I found on the cardiac health site. I will use it for breakfast with a few nuts on the side. If I forego the nuts I will add protein powder to the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
3/4 C pineapple juice
1/2 C lowfat vanilla yogurt
1/2 C strawberries, rinsed
Peel and slice banana.
