Bob Greene’s Best Life Breakfast

Bob Greene suggests that we use his “Jump-start your Best Life Weight Loss Challenge” to  start your days—Here is one of his breakfast options!

Chocolate-Strawberry Smoothie with Oat Bran Bagel and Cream Cheese

1 cup 8th Continent® Light Chocolate Soymilk
1/2 ripe banana
1 cup unsweetened frozen strawberries
1/2 oat bran bagel
1 1/2 Tbsp. reduced-fat cream cheese

To make smoothie, combine chocolate soymilk, banana and strawberries in a blender. Serve with half bagel and cream cheese.

I am wondering if you can replace the Soymilk with Almond or Rice Milk?  I do not see that you cannot.  In fact, they are just as healthy as soy.  Try playing with these ingredients to suit your taste.  I think this is a great meal plan because of the lack of sugar and attention to protein with the soy and cream cheese. Also you are getting fiber as well as part of the recommended fruit needed per day.

I am going to try this because it sounds appealing and I am sure it will give me the energy to start out my day.
