SMOOTHIES

I LOVE SMOOTHIES! These smoothie recipes come from Prevention.com.
There is even a chocolate one listed...a chocolate...YUM!
Quick and easy to prepare, these smoothie recipes not only contain a variety of refreshing fruits, they pack MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) -- the Flat Belly Diet powerhouse ingredient that specifically targets belly fat. These filling, creamy thirst-quenchers are perfect for breakfast or a Flat Belly snack.
