One of my New Years resolutions was to start having breakfast every morning. I stopped eating breakfast in high school because my genius friends and I thought it would help us lose weight :OY: and now I haven't had it for so long that if I try to eat in the morning.. I get sick.

Yummilicious Banana Smoothiei've been surfing the web quite a lot these days looking at recipes and i've come across quite a number of recipes for fruit smoothies. unfortunately, while many of the recipes boast low cal, they forgo the flava!
seeing as i myself am soooo obsessed with finding the perfect low cal food that doesn't lose the taste at the same time, i decided to share a little tip that i picked up when i was working at the Coffeebean & Tealeaf a couple years back!
