Meal Replacement Archives

I am kind of, really, obsessed with smoothies, and have always been a water-guzzling athletic. You know, when I'm actually being athletic, but, either way, on an average day, I probably ingest half a gallon of water. Now, there's also a good way to stay hydrated while protecting the environment. No need for a thousand water bottles every year to go into the trash or recycling bin when you can't do yourself a favor and add two or three of these very adorable reusable water bottles to your kitchen cabinet.

Stay Hydrated and Take Your Smoothies To-Go With These Cool Bottles, Pun Intended

by Maple Summers 3 years ago

In my quest to rid myself of these bananas and take meal replacement to more-fulfilling level, I remembered making peanut butter smoothies half a century ago. What is not pictured in the photo is the apple juice and the milk. As I was looking for the perfect balance of sweet versus salty/savory from the peanut butter, I kept adding more and more apple juice to this blend until it ended up being about half apple juice and half milk (I used lactaid-free milk because I'm kind of lactose-intolorant, but I think almond milk would make this even better).

Peanut Butter, Apple Juice, Banana Smoothie

When I say juice, I mean something like Juicy Juice. Not a smoothie. Smoothies are more sustaining because they have pulp and flesh in them. There is nothing wrong with doing smoothie fasts. They are actually a good way to ease yourself into water fasting if you need a bit of a confidence booster before giving up food entirely. Anyways, juice fasting can also be a less harsh way to detox the body as juice is still filled with plenty of nutrients for the body to digest, so you won't feel the "toxins dump" as much as you would during a water fast (if you're new to fasting).
