My sugar-free exsistence, which you can read about here and here, lasted exactly two weeks. I fell off the wagon on Memorial Day, when I just couldn't resist strawberry pretzel salad and Gramma's carrot cake.
I'm still participating in the body after baby challenge and I'm happy to report that I'm down 8 lbs. total - just 7 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. Very exciting. This week I'm just controlling my portion sizes and limiting my sugar.
One of the yummiest treats that I had while on my sugar fast was a homemade strawberry-banana smoothie. I like to freeze my over-ripe bananas, so it's super sweet and totally (refined) sugar free!
Strawberry-Banana Smoothie
3 medium bananas - cut and frozen
1/3 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 to 1 cup milk
1 cup - ice cubes
Blend everything together in your blender. This makes a super thick shake, so you may need to add more milk (or yogurt, if you want a more breakfasty smoothie) to help the blender with all the frozen ingredients.
So yummy!
A couple reminders: You still have time to enter my Jack and Lily shoe giveaway! Don't miss out!
Make sure you check back tomorrow for an awesome home birth story! It's a gem.
Thanks for the recipe. As I posted, not ready to give up all sweets but really working on the "refined" stuff. Congratulations on the weight loss

Yum! I love strawberry banana smoothies. Those two fruits were made for each other.
ReplyDeleteI have been loving these for either breakfast or lunch!!! Refreshing. Have you ever tried freezing it for ice cream?
