I’ve been focusing more on fruit with my meals because of the fiber content. Fiber is so important for losing weight and for how our body works in general.
Plus, let’s face it, fruit in its natural form is affordable and tastes amazing. Plus, it is a powerhouse full of health benefits, fiber, and flavor.
I am also cognizant of protein as well, so I remembered that Chia Seeds have an incredible amount of fiber along with protein. So I stocked up, and here’s what I made to have with my lunch today
High Fiber and Protein Smoothie Recipe
If you’ve been following me over the years, you know that I love my NutriBullet. It breaks down all of the food into it into it’s natural state so that you can consume the pulp and every single piece of the food. You’re not throwing away any critical ingredients.
Ingredients:
So in here I added a three-berry blend of berries, which includes blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. This is made by Wymans, and it’s in the frozen food section.
I also added a small gala apple, which also has a great deal of fiber.
I added a Triple Zero Cup of berry-flavored yogurt, 2 tablespoons of organic Chia seeds, and enough water to blend this into a drinkable consistency.
First of all, the taste was amazing, and it was so refreshing!!
The Breakdown:
I put this into MyFitnessPal, and for a 16-ounce glass, it has
342 cal
20 g of protein
17 g of fiber.
You could easily drink half in the morning and drink the other half with another meal. Loving this!
