I've been making fruit smoothies at bedtime to take my daily pills and supplements with. Besides being good for that, drinking the smoothies (essentially fruit salads in pureed form) means I indulge in a lot less ice cream and other high-sugar, high-fat snacks than I used to.
I use a wide variety of ingredients. This combination worked particularly well, so I thought I'd preserve the recipe.
Coconut-Pineapple-Ginger Smoothie
11/2 C. coconut milk
1/2 C. Del Monte pineapple in coconut-flavored light syrup (these come in lunchbox-size plastic cups with a half-cup in each)
1/2 tsp. ginger paste (or more, if you like ginger)
1 scoop whey protein powder (about 34 grams, or slightly over 1 ounce by weight, or about 3 ounces by volume; it's fluffy stuff)
Blend until smooth. Enjoy. About 300 calories.
(My carton of coconut milk came out of the fridge in slushy form. You might want to add several ice cubes to chill the mixture.)
