Fri. Dec 7th



Daily Tidbit:    Another smoothie today:  a Tropical one with ripe Bananas, fresh Pineapple, Vanilla Yogurt & Romaine.  I think I like the flavor of the one yesterday a little more (which used Spinach instead) but the Romaine adds Protein among other things, and made it more crisp and refreshing!  Full recipe below.

Breakfast: Shredded Wheat & Smoothie
1 cup Plain Shredded Wheat (not frosted/ no sugar!)
1 cup Fat Free Milk
2 tbsp Plain chopped Walnuts
5oz Tropical Romaine Smoothie (recipe below)
Regular Coffee, 1/2 tsp Cocoa, splash Fat Free Milk



Love that the Shredded Wheat Cereal I'm eating now (Trader Joe's) has 2 ingredients:  Wheat & Vitamin E for freshness.  That is it, nothing else!

RECIPES:




Tropical Romaine Smoothie:



Into blender put:


1 cup pureed fresh Pineapple

1 cup Fat Free All Natural Vanilla Yogurt

2 ripe peeled Bananas

1 large handful chopped Romaine

     
Blend and serve!


 



Potato Pancake Recipe:

For this I just took some leftover Mashed Potatoes and Peas, mixed in some corn chip crumbs and Cheddar Cheese and fried them in the Cast Iron Pan with some Canola Oil - 4 minutes a side.  I made the aioli by mixing Olive Oil Mayo with Red Pepper Hot Sauce, Cumin and a little Ketchup for sweetness
