To many of us, summer is an exciting season--as well as a
dreading one! The warm sunny weather allows for plenty of
trips to the beach or lake, outdoor barbecues that last for
hours, as well as family vacations. However, the down side
is that many of these activities involve a swimsuit and/or
sweltering heat. Don't get bummed out--this article
contains a few great breakfast recipes that will not only
start your summer day with a cool boost, but they are also
weight-smart!
Smoothies
Smoothies are a terrific treat, and a healthy one, too!

naturally energizing treats without the sugar-induced
guilt. In this recipe, we will use strawberries and
bananas, but you can use virtually any fruit you like!

1 cup Chopped Strawberries
1 cup Chopped Bananas
Handful of Ice
Sugar to taste (if desired)
Drop the ice and fruit into the blender first, followed by
the yogurt. Blend until fully pureed. If adding sugar, add
to the puree mix and blend a few more seconds.
Fruit and Yogurt Cups

whip up in small or large batches!
Ingredients:
Chopped Fruit
Natural Vanilla Yogurt
The measurements of the fruit and yogurt depend on how many
people you are serving. Fill the 1/3 of the glass

the glass with chopped fruit, and then top off with the
remaining yogurt. Sprinkle a few bits of fruit on top for
garnish. Chill and serve.
