Fresh Sweet Green Smoothie

I know it's too cold outside to think about having popsicles or ice cream this time of year. However, if you're craving something sweet and cold this is a great healthy smoothie recipe. You can either drink it or make into popsicles.

2 bananas
1 mango
4 frozen strawberries
1 handful of grapes
1 bunch of spinach leaves or kale to taste
About 1/2 glass of water

Mix all together and enjoy!

Greek-Style Mini Pizza

Here's another fabulous and easy pizza recipe. Lately I really have been craving pizza but I don't want all of the calories. I found the recipe below, which was created by Biggest Loser Ranch executive chef Cameron Payne. It's easy, delicious and healthy.

Serves 1














   * 1 Orowheat sandwich thin (called Arnold's Sandwich Thins on the east coast)
   * 1 1/2 Tbsp. marinara sauce
   * 1 ounce soy cheese
   * 3 Tbsp. tomato , diced
   * 1/4 cup ground turkey , cooked
   * 3 Tbsp. green olives , sliced
   * 1/2 Ounce Feta cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Using 1 Orowheat sandwich thin, split apart and toast in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Ladle on 1 1/2 tablespoons marinara sauce on each pizza. Sprinkle soy cheese. Sprinkle on green onions, tomato, olives, cooked ground turkey and feta cheese. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until pizza crust is crisp and cheese is melted.
