Being healthy is something lots of people struggle with. Unfortunately, we are surrounded by calorie filled foods and many fast food restaurants. If you are hungry, you can easily go to your local McDonalds or Taco Bell and get a something super quick. Fast food is super convenient and cooking food seems to take a lot longer. That’s why many of us struggle from staying away. I struggle from staying away from all junk food including candy, chips, and really sugary drinks. However, I found a very healthy and easy way to keep my stomach filled so I don’t eat extra foods. I will be sharing some of my recipes with you today.

I have been drinking lots of smoothies recently and I’ve found that they are very filling, I drink them at lunch time and they keep me full till about dinner. First, I get my frozen fruit, usually a mix of berries such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries J. I put about 1 ½ cups of the fruit. After the frozen fruit I like to add 1 banana, which has lots of healthy benefits and adds flavor. Next, I add about 2 cups of almond milk that usually has a vanilla flavor. (If this is too much milk for you go ahead and lessen it.) I personally like Silk milk because it adds the taste of vanilla that replaces vanilla ice cream which makes the smoothie really creamy. You can add any other fruit if you want but I stop here and instead of more fruit I add one tablespoon of Chia seeds. Chia seeds are super healthy for you as well and you don’t even taste them. After all your ingredients are in, BLEND BLEND BLEND!!!! If you feel that your smoothie is not as sweet as you would like it to be try adding a little bit more almond milk, if not you’re DONE! This yummy smoothie should fill you up for most of your day.

Another yummy drink I like to keep with me is a simple detox drink. I’ll be sharing with you one of my favorite recipes that is very rejuvenating. Take about 10 raspberries and 3-4 strawberries and put them in a cup of your choice. Then, combine water and ice (about 3/4^th of the glass full). Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Adding lemon and mint is optional but I put 1 slice of lemon and a few mint leaves. Lemon and mint are very good for you, Mint suppresses your appetite in a natural way. This recipe is great for those trying to lose weight and I can tell you from personal experience that it does help!

Both these recipes are great ways to lose weight. And if you’re not looking to lose weight it’s still a healthy way of “eating”. So next time you get hungry, make one of these great drinks that will keep you healthy and full! ENJOY!
