Smoothies that Sazzle

Did you know that Sazzle makes the best Smoothies ever?

Quite frankly, I do.

Yesterday I bought a blender. This one, actually:

 

You may ask, "How can you make the world's best smoothies and not own a blender"...the ex has it (and owned it so I'm not complaining about him having it)

I'm not going to lie, I was pretty excited about being able to make smoothies again and was pretty pumped buying all the stuff. (Similar to how happy I was when Starbucks started selling them last summer)

I even made sure to get some protein powder. I buy this one because it is low in calories, adds a nice consistency to the drink, is fairly cheap and doesn't have an awful taste.

The best part? Smoothies motivate me. I love them so much but I have made it a rule -- you can only have a smoothie for breakfast if you jog Niko on the trail. So, guess what happened this morning? I jogged Niko on the trail. To be honest - we get a better jog on in the morning because nobody is on the trail at 6am. (Ok...maybe it was closer to 7am when we finally got out there)

Now, how would I Sazzle without sharing the recipe? I wouldn't, so I'm going to share it. Now, it isn't anything spectacular -- I believe the more simple the better.

Sazzlerific Smoothie

*1/2 cup milk

*2 scoops Aria protein powder

*1/2 cup frozen strawberries (I usually use 5 strawberries)

*1 banana

*Ice cubes (add for desired texture -- today I ran out of ice cubes so I didn't use any - and I personally wouldn't use more than 5)

For those watching your calories, it is 273 for the drink. WELL worth it if you went jogging in the morning.

Did I mention Niko almost jumped out of her skin when I ran the blender? Poor baby!!!
