Blueberry Smoothie (one of the super foods)

100 g blueberries, FROZEN

24 kcals 0.45 g protein 4.5 g carbs 0.15 g fat

40 g vanilla whey

Cinnamon to taste, 0.5-1 teaspoon for me


BLEND

I find blueberries don't need any artificial sweetner! This is SO YUM!



Calorie Counts

Tesco's sells blueberries (a bit expensive at 2 pounds) in 150 g packages so:

150 g of blueberries (looks like LOADS)

48 kcals 0.9 g protein 9 g carbs 0.3 g fat

100 g of blueberries:

32 kcals 0.6 g protein 6.9 g carbs 0.2 g fat

75 g of blueberries:

24 kcals 0.45 g protein 4.5 g carbs 0.15 g fat

40 g vanilla whey

161 kcals 32 g protein 2.9 g carbs 2.5 g fat

30 g whey protein

121 kcals 24 g protein 2.2 g carbs 1.9 g fat

So it is possible to have a 'milkshake' or blueberry smoothie and it is only 121-145 kcals and under 8 g of carbs.

I just find it odd to cut all fruit out of my diet in the summer.

NOTE: Esteemed members Tinytom and Pscarb recommend that this is NOT used in post work out when close to competition because of the fructose of blueberries.
