I mentioned dates a few days ago - filling, sweet and taste just like candy. These fibre-filled gems are good for you too!

I promised the family chicken and ribs for dinner tonight so needless to say my points have to be well planned. It's a treat for them as I really don't like ribs. I KNOW! You think I'm crazy, right? It's not that I won't eat them but I can't say that I really enjoy them (although the dry rub kind are ok-ish). Let's face it, we also know how fatty they are, not to mention messy.
They really enjoy them so I will cook them with love and watch them eat, lol. I am perfectly content with juicy, broiled chicken - hold the ribs. I can taste it already.
Now back to the smoothie...Reminder: All of my smoothies, except where otherwise noted, serve 1 person. Easy enough for you?
My goal when creating meal replacement smoothies is to ensure they actually take care of your hunger and keep you full. Also, don't forget to snack in between (healthy snacks are GOOD for you) meals and keep hydrated. Staying hydrated also keep aways those "trigger" cravings.
Date Me Smoothie
1 cup low-fat milk (I used almond milk)
1/2 banana (frozen)
3 dates
1 tsp honey
Ice cubes
Blend until smooth. It's smooth, it's creamy, it's delicious, it's filling and it's yours for the blending.
After dinner tonight
Watch for a new smoothie recipe tomorrow as well as one for soup!
Be kind, be fulfilled, be safe and until tomorrow!
