There is also flax seed and egg white in this concoction I made up this morning but including that in the title made it too long! This is a new twist for me-using coconut water in my smoothies instead of soy milk and non-fat Greek yogurt.
I wanted to lighten up the calorie load and still make a nutritious smoothie. The coconut water is low calorie, no fat, no added sugar, and contains 5 essential electrolytes (more potassium than a banana). The egg white adds some protein, and the flax seed contributes important Omega-3s and fiber.
And the good news-it was tasty and satisfying and filling!
