Sorry For Not Posting Yesterday! Some Low Calorie Meals

Hello everyone out there in cyber space today is Day 2. I have been woke up Monday at 7:30am to get to the gym at 9:30am. Today, I woke up at 9am to get to the gym at 11am. (This week, because it is still considered "finals week" the gym has weird hours so it didn't open until 11) I made a lot of food at the beginning of the week so I could just grab and go. 2 of these recipies I will post here and I will try to post more throughout the week.

I am sorry that it is turned upside down, I am not sure how to rotate it. Anyway, this is the smoothie that I made Monday morning (with my magic bullet!) This one consists of 1/2 cup pineapple, 1 1/4 cup strawerries and 1 cup of organic skim milk. (Two things that definitely taste better organic; milk and strawberries) just hit the button mix for a few minutes and enjoy. My only qualm is that pineapple is a little stringy when you blend it.

Amount: apx 12. oz smoothie
Calories: 210

This morning (because I wanted to use the rest of the pinapple to roast on the stove) I made a strawberry banana smoothie. Because the banana took up more room in the cup I only used 1/2 a banana and 1/2 cup strawberries with 1 cup organic skim milk. It yielded the same about of smoothie for 165 calories.

Note* - This is up to you  but I normally add 1 Truvia 0 calorie sweetener packet.

This is the entire plate of chicken salad (which includes 8 oz. of chicken breast) but a serving would be about 4 oz. This includes:

- 4 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast (I used Nature's Promise; Giant's organic brand. It was about 5 dollars for 1 lb. Worth it because it did not include nitrates, added sodium or growth hormones) - 140 cal
- 1 celery stalk - 5 cal
- 1 1/2 oz. grapes (5-6 big red grapes) - 30 cal
- 1/2 tbsp. low fat mayo - 50 cal
- 7 almonds - 40 call
Just put it in a bowl and mix it up. You can also just used can chicken breast but I cooked the whole packet of chicken at the beginning of the week and have been using it in different recipies. For 1/2 the amount in this bowl, it's 265 calories.

I hope this helped. I decided instead of posting once a week I will just post as much as I can, but at least once a week. My best friend and I who are remaining at school for the summer are cooking our way through a cook book. So, when I use one of their recipies, I will reference the source.

Happy eating!
