My mother in law gave me a recipe for a smoothie, it sounded absolutely gross, so I ignored it. She insisted I try it, and since I have trouble getting in all my veggie and fruit servings, I did. It was delicious. Just try it! Let me know what you think!

1/2 cup plain greek yogart

2 tbsp splenda

2 tbsp fat free evaporated milk

1small banana (frozen when possible)

1 small peach (peeled and sliced)

2 strawberries

2 1/2 cups fresh bagged spinach

1/2 cup ice

Blend until smoothie....

14 grams protein!

All your veggie/fruit serving for the day!

This sounds amazing! Did you make it public on My Fitness Pal? If so what did you call it so I can log it too! Sounds like something I would want every morning for breakfast! THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D

When you enter the recipe there is a spot at the bottom that ask if you want to share it publicly or it can be just for you. It is a check box. No worries I will log it in and if you give me a name(it is your recipe) then you can search it and use it too B)

Oh no! Im not the original poster ;) I just wanted to see what the nutritional facts were... I did get it posted. I saved it under my meals, not receipes.... but anyway its up there... I hope the original poster does not mind! I named it Spinach Receipe.

Oh and the nutritional facts ended up being a bit different, but not a big difference.

THANK YOU SOOO VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! I will now be saving lots of cash and calories as I no longer have to frequent Planet Smoothie! THIS IS A VERY VERY DELICIOUS SMOOTHIE! I have made over and over and will continue as it has everything! The carbs are tad high BUT it is from the fruit so I am ok with that! Thank you!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
