Upon hearing about this new 5:2 (5-2, 5/2, however you like to stylize!) diet, I remember thinking that, if it works, it would be the most incredible thing to happen to me. So, I thought I'd try it.
(Okay, I'm gonna be truthful - it is a simply diet, but I am bloody greedy and therefore, I've found it hard to cut down, but it does get easier!)
This is my Summer Fruits Smoothie;
You will need -
- A frozen summer fruits mix, (I used 80g of a mix from Asda) 80g of fruit is 1 of your 5 day and is 26 calories.
- 250ml of semi-skimmed milk - 113 calories
- A teaspoon of agave nectar - sweet and low in calories at 14 calories, it's sweeter and much better for you than white sugar.
- and for an extra-filling protein boost, I threw in a scoop of soya protein which was 79 calories.
You may also need -
- A hand-blender. They're quite reasonably priced now and are such a versatile tool for the kitchen.
Quite simply, all you need to do is chuck it in a beaker, and blitz it up. Easy.
Photography isn't my forté. |
It comes in at 231 calories, is one of your five a day and is a super quick way to start the day! Match this up with a 250 kcal dinner, or a sack and something even lighter like a soup or F(E)AST's tuna and bean salad at 110 calories! (Check out this blog, it is nothing short of fantastic!)
