I don’t know about you guys, but around the late afternoons, I get really hungry. Lately, I started eating some really unhealthy stuff in the afternoon and need to knock this off ASAP because I am trying to lose weight and not gain more. Lol. So while I was searching for something else completely not related, I found this blueberry-cucumber smoothie recipe. Talk about serendipity. This is the answer. Now all I need is buy one of those magic bullet blenders and I can make this at work! 🙂
Just so you know–this recipe may be in vegetariantimes and may not have a lot of calories, but I can tell you that it will be yummy.
Since this is a recipe for 4 servings, you can halve all the ingredients to make less servings.
