Slender with a Blender

A blender is a tool that is highly essential when following a specific weight-loss plan. They can be used to make low-calorie protein shakes, fruit smoothies, and other assorted soups. A blender not only keeps the amount of fats consumed in check, but also lowers the intake of processed food by helping you make fresh, instant foods. This, in turn, reduces the intake of sodium, sugar, trans fats, and saturated fats. I like the Oster personal blender. 


You can experiment with your own ingredients. Whatever fruits and vegetables you like can be combined for a tailor made snack. I like to use frozen fruits in my protein shakes. If you have one of these sitting on your counter you are more likely to use it. If you have to pull out a large blender form under the counter, chances are, you won't. Get one of these and sit it on you counter!


Here is a great recipe. Again, I use frozen fruits and sometimes add greek yogurt. ENJOY!
