I bet your New Year's resolutions include going back to the gym, eating healthier, and loosing some weight... But before you start the new cardio class, or the new weight lifting routine, try going over the things you eat to determine their nutritional value.

We all cheat when it comes to food, but if we start off the day with the right ingredients, we have a better chance of resisting the unhealthy cravings later in the day.

How about a delicious home made smoothie that tastes great and does wonders for your body!.. Not only that you can make it in under 5 minutes from fresh ingredients, but you also get to decide what you want to put into it...

Easily turn your smoothie into a fat fighting weapon by adding some protein powder, flax seed oil, and fresh papaya.

My Favorite "BERRY BANNANA & MINT SMOOTHIE" has all the fat fighting foods...

- BANNANA to help boost my metabolism and replenish potassium

- 1/2 cup of fresh antioxidant  filled BLUBERRIES, or RASBERRIES to speed up my metabolism.

- 1/2 slice of APPLE for fiber and to get rid of the bulge.

- 1 scoop of  high PROTEIN powder to fill me up, and to help my muscle recovery.

- Fresh MINT to add exotic flavor, and regulate my digestive health.

It tastes great, and keeps me full longer. While all the ingredients combined together fight fat, and give me energy for the rest of the day. Try this new way of starting your day, and see how it works out for you...I have found that it motivates me to eat better throughout the day.
