Perhaps the Most Heart-Friendly Snack of All – A Smoothie
Talk about snacks! When you have those hunger pangs between meals – do yourself a heart favor and blend a smoothie. These are my favorite snacks. Making them is up to your imagination. Whatever fruits you like and low-fat milk, or I use soy milk, can make a delicious heart-healthy almost sinful drink (it can be so good).
The recipe for an apple smoothie follows: 1 frozen banana, 1/2 peeled chopped apple, 1 cup apple juice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg. Place them all in the blender and push blend. It tastes great and it has so many heart-healthy ingredients that I could write an ebook explaining them all.
I have a (FREE) ebook of 126 smoothie recipes for the athlete. If you want a copy just comment, and I’ll give you the download url.
