TREAT TIME!!! Update. First posted June 2, 2016
I have been vegan whole food plant based now for 10 years! It turned into the best health decision of my life. Yesterday I went for a run using the Map My Run app on my phone to track myself. It hadn't been used in 3 years, kind of like my gym membership. I was looking at the original personal data I had entered from 13 years ago. Height is the same, age is 13 years older and my weight is down 103 lbs!!!
I started exercising 2 years after I changed my lifestyle, so the improvement isn't due to that. It is absolutely the decision to go vegan and eat healthy. My blood pressure is now 100/72 and my cholesterol is 143. That's with no meds at all. This works for me!
It's winter, but summer is rapidly approaching. I saw a Facebook post today where one of the people that I've actually met in person was looking for something to eat instead of ice cream in an attempt to eat healthier.
Challenge Accepted! Only 3 ingredients. You're going to need a blender.
If you don't have one or you are looking to upgrade, here are 2 choices...
I have the NINJA Kitchen System on sale for $149.95. That's 25% off if you click the link!
Or upgrade to the VITAMIX Explorian (refurbished) for $289.95 or Brand New for $330.35!
Pull out your blender and gather the following:
Frozen Raspberry Smoothie
One 10 oz package of frozen raspberries
Two frozen bananas
Half of a room temperature ripe banana
Five dates (the soft ones with the pits)
Put the broken up frozen bananas, the half a ripe banana, the 5 dates with pits removed and the package of frozen raspberries in your blender. Puree until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to
push down any of the mixture that sticks to the walls of the blender to blend thoroughly.
It's ready to eat! BUT if you put it into a container in the freezer for 4 hours, it gets the firmer texture of gelato. It feels like I'm cheating on my diet, but there is no added processed sugar, no milk, nuts, oil, animal products or processed food. Try it! Treat yourself to a great, healthy dessert!
