COFFEE SMOOTHIE
You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
3 - 4 tablespoons instant coffee powder
1 cup milk (nonfat okay)
1 cup vanilla frozen yogurt
1 cup frozen bananas
Pour liquid ingredients into the blender first. Yogurt is a liquid ingredient. Add bananas.
Put cover on and blend until smooth.
A prebreakfast mug of coffee can help pare excess pounds, a proven diabetes risk factor, by suppressing appetite by as much as 35%. Drinking a cup of coffee first thing can reduce blood sugar swings by 50%.
And the effect lasts throughout the entire day. Researchers theorize that coffee's rich supply of phenols and other antioxidants boost production of insulin, the hormone that helps keep blood sugar in check.
What's more, this nutrient blend improves cell's response to insulin, so the hormone can function at peak efficiency.
