Recipes inspired by Laurie
It’s the post-holiday season and a new year. Many of us have
overindulged during the past weeks, consuming more than usual quantities of
rich and caloric foods. We might have gained a few pounds, or just feel a bit
sluggish after too many delicious but not-too-nutritious treats. New year = new
start. Protein and veggie or fruit-based smoothies make satisfying breakfasts,
lunches, or snacks. They’re delicious and vitamin- and mineral-rich, yet don’t
cost too many calories. My friend Laurie,
an expert on liquid meals, shared her list of high-nutrition smoothie
ingredients with me, and I came up with these basic go-to recipes. I invite you
to add or substitute ingredients as you like.
