Make You Poop Soup

WAIT! Don't leave yet! 

In the past year, I experienced a bit of a health crisis. I began to really focus on eating right, exercising, and making my physical and mental health a top priority.

One of my problems was that my metabolism had slowed considerably, both from being immobile and also because I was not eating a balanced diet.

You always hear from nutritionists, "Don't skip breakfast!", but to be honest, who actually has time for breakfast? If you do, you end up eating McDonald's on your lunch break anyway.

Well, here's a way to get your breakfast, get your nutrients, fill you up, and cleanse your system. 

Note: When I say "cleanse your system", I do not mean you will be running to the bathroom like you just ate some bad Mexican food. This "soup", which can be served in a bowl, or in a cup like a smoothie, contains yogurt, which has yogurt cultures that regulate your digestive system and boost your immune system. Instead of spending more than $10/week on packaged yogurt like Activia, sorry to name names, you can make your own concoction that has great taste and full of vitamins.

So, try it. There's a lot of room for variation here. It worked for me, after losing a considerable amount of weight, I am in great health and feeling awesome. I will blog later with the nutrition facts for this recipe, but I promise there are less than half as many calories here than in pre-made smoothies, or anything served at Jamba Juice. 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of fresh fruit or fresh frozen fruit (I like at least a bit of frozen because it makes this soup ice cold and refreshing--just DON'T USE CANNED FRUIT WITH SYRUP!)

1/2 cup skim milk

1/2 cup plain, non-fat yogurt (probiotic yogurt is even better, but could be more expensive)

1 tbsp. honey

Optional: 2 tbsp. oatmeal or granola

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until all the big pieces of fruit are gone.

That's it!

You can add more milk and less yogurt, if you prefer it to be of thinner viscosity.
