So July 1 starts my Hotter n Hell diet. I am 5'5, 110 - 115 lbs (I don't know, I don't have a scale but the guys call me "the twig"). But for the Hotter n Hell, where my goal is 5 hrs. rolling time, I need to be about 3-5 lbs down. SO, I begin the yearly quest for the perfect smoothie, which becomes breakfast and lunch. I take Hammer Nutrition vitamins to supplement, and dinner is pretty much fair game, but no eating between meals. My smoothie must stay under 300 calories TOPS.

Anyone have any idea on ways to make my usual protien powder and ice smoothy (which I don't think is really a smoothy as much as grit) taste better? My slightly elevated calorie smoothies add vanilla or chocolate slim fast or ensure to the protien powder, which way helps the taste, but it does crank up the calories.
In the morning I have successfully blended strawberries with orange juice and vanilla ensure and vanilla fat free along with protien, but that is just one meal...
No bananas for me....they make my lips itch.
Anyone? Anyone?
