Berry Berry Good Smoothie
First, lets define what is a smoothie? According to Wikipedia, a smoothie consists of raw fruits and vegetables with dietary fiber (skin, seeds, pulp, etc) and are thicker than fruit juice. Other common ingredients can include Dairy (milk, yogurt, or ice cream) or Sweeteners (honey or sugar). It all depends on personal preference. Therefore, there is no “bad” smoothie.
If you want even more clarification and the history behind smoothies, read Respite Cafe’s article, “Origin of Smoothies”.
Smoothies can be a good way to get a healthy breakfast with few ingredients and a few pulses from a blender. I modified a version of this recipe from a class I took in Cardiac Rehab. I don’t know who created the original recipe, but it is a good one. In addition to the healthy benefits of the mixed berries, banana, and spinach in this smoothie, you can also boost the protein by using reduced fat, high protein milk.

Lower Fat Chili Cheese Dogs
Most chili dogs are not healthy, but with the right ingredients we can enjoy a lower fat version that keeps the Saturated Fat at 3 grams which is less than half of most fast food dogs. Making your own Homemade chili sauce will result in better flavor and texture than canned chili with the added benefit of lower sodium. Choose hot dogs with 1 gram or less of Saturated Fat and 350 milligrams or less in Sodium. Bread is almost always high in Sodium, but there are some better choices so look for buns with less than 220 milligrams of Sodium.
