N’Dulge: Summer Strawberry Smoothies
Bob Greene, Oprah’s personal trainer, serves up breakfast smoothies in his bestselling book “The Best Life Diet,” and on the companion website, TheBestLife.com.
“Breakfast is non-negotiable on my plan, and all my breakfasts offer a healthy balance of protein, high fiber carbs, and healthy fat to keep you satisfied for hours,” says Greene. Pasteurized liquid egg whites, such as the all-natural AllWhites brand are a safe and convenient way to add high quality protein to breakfast, whether blended into a smoothie or cooked on the griddle.
In this recipe the light, fresh flavor of the Strawberry Summer Smoothie is created by combining ripe, sweet strawberries and fresh basil with AllWhites100 percent liquid egg whites.
“Strawberries are high in vitamin C and potassium and are a great source of dietary fiber,” says Greene. “When mixed with AllWhites, you’ll have a fat-free, cholesterol-free, protein-packed drink that will keep you satisfied.”
