SPEEDY SMOOTHIE
in a small freezer bag, add together an assortment of frozen fruit, freeze. also freeze one serving of yogurt. when you want a smoothie, mix the frozen fruit and yogurt in a blender with 1 cup 100% fruit juice.
my fav:
for fruit I take one handful each strawberries and blueberries, then one half of a chopped banana. I use plain yogurt, add orange juice and this tastes awesome! yummy and healthy!
alternative: fat free yogurt, add spinach instead of blueberries, add sweetener to taste if it turns out bitter

10 Ways To Make Your Salad More Satisfying
Warm ingredients Grilled or sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms and meats wilt salad greens and make them slightly warm, adding depth and character to an otherwise boring salad.
Brown rice Adding 1/2 cup of warm rice to a salad makes it more satisfying to eat and keeps you full for longer. Use single serving rice balls and this simple addition will add less than 2 minutes to your salad prep time.
Nuts Walnuts and sliced almonds are my favorite, but feel free to try pecans, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds or anything else that sounds interesting.
Beans Chickpeas, black beans, edamame and other legumes are inexpensive and delicious sources of protein and fiber to add some substance to a salad.
Avocado Half an avocado is sometimes exactly what a salad needs to take it to the next level.
Smoked salmon For a slightly more upscale salad experience top your greens with a few slices of smoked salmon.
Quinoa Mix in a small amount of quinoa as an accent or make it the base of a salad by adding cooked or raw veggies and greens. See my Mexican-style quinoa salad recipe.
Grilled meats Your salad is a great place for summertime BBQ leftovers.
Egg Boiled, fried or poached, an egg is a wonderful way to make your salad more substantial. See my Summer salad with poached egg recipe.
