Zola’s Favorite Breakfast Smoothie
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.
On the go? Need something quick that will keep you full and focused while you rush off to work or to do errands? Use your Bullet Blender to whip this up. Pour it in your insulated mug and you’re good to go.
Serving Size: Serves 1
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup of plain Greek Full Fat Yogurt*
- 1-1/2 cups of frozen fruit pieces (my favorite is mango but also good are strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, peaches or a mix of berries)
- 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk (from the carton)
- 1 Tbl of flaxseed oil (optional but your hair and nails will love it. Also good for digestion)
- ½ – 1 tsp of Truvia (optional)
- ¼ tsp of nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)
- 1 scoop of unsweetened whey protein or rice protein powder. The vanilla-flavored one is good. If you are not getting enough other nutrition this is a great way to get extra protein. (If you do not want to do the vanilla protein powder you can substitute a ½ tsp of vanilla instead)
Instructions:
Put all the ingredients in a blender and whiz til smooth. The frozen fruit will make this a cool concoction that goes down great. You can take it to go too and just sip on it.
*Look for Fage brand or Stoney Creek. Both companies make a high quality yogurt and they make full fat versions. You do not want low fat or flavored yogurts. They contain high amounts of sugar. If your grocery outlet does not carry full fat yogurt, ask the customer service department to order it and promise you’ll be back to buy it regularly.
To your health!
Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
What a great idea! Dieter Cindy thought of this when her daughter had a Culver’s Pumpkin Spice Frozen Custard. She craved one, too so she came up with this healthy alternative.

I discovered cinnamon water in Costa Rica. Try adding pear slices – it makes a wonderful summer treat.

Any suggestions for a brand of decent unsweetened protein powder?
Zola asked me to answer your inquiry on Plan Z Works website about sugar free protein powder. Here are links to 3 sources to check out.
Here’s the link to Bob’s Red Mill Whey on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Natural-Concentrate/dp/B00EVJTFUW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392933679&sr=8-1&keywords=bobs+red+mill+whey
I haven’t purchased it, but it appears to contain no sugar and has 16 grams of protein per serving and only 1 gram of carbohydrate. Very good ratio.
I buy two different proteins that I put in smoothies:
1. http://www.amazon.com/Nutribiotic-Vegan-Protein-Vanilla-Flavor/dp/B005P0F31G/ref=sr_1_sc_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1392933896&sr=8-11-spell&keywords=neutrobiotic+vegan+vanilla+rice+protein
2. http://www.amazon.com/DESIGNER-Premium-Whey-Protein-12-Ounce/dp/B001CD1EOA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1392934068&sr=8-3&keywords=designer+whey
Rice protein is also high protein and very low carb. I alternate between that and whey. The French Vanilla Whey is good and the Designer Premium Whey I have in my cupboard is sweetened with Stevia. The rice protein is unsweetened, but vanilla flavored.
I don’t eat protein powder every day. I tend to eat omelets or cheesy scrambled eggs 4-5 days a week and smoothies for breakfast around the days I do my Super Slow weightlifting.
Hope this helps. Everything you need is on Amazon. You can find Bob’s Red Mill products at many grocery stores. GNC stores may have some of these protein powders. Let me know if this helps.
