Lightfull Smoothies - 90 calories for supposed satiety!
I heard about these little wonders from the e-mails I get from hungry-girl.com Avaliable in Chocolate Fudge, Cafe Latte, Strawberries and Cream, and Peaches and Cream, these smoothies boast only 90 calories (Okay, Peaches has 100) and state that, after 20 minutes of sipping one, you will feel satisfied. The "cream" ones have NO fat, the Chocolate has one gram of fat, that which is NOT trans OR saturated, and the Cafe has 0.5 gram of fat, that, again, is NOT trans or saturated. Chocolate, Strawberry and Peaches smoothie says they have six grams of fiber (Cafe has five), which is a LOT for a small package and 90 calories!Strawberry Banana Energy Smoothie!
Every now and then we need that kick to get our day started, a kick to go to the gym energized and ready!
This kick must be some discusting energy drink, right?
Think again!
