Weight Loss Plateau Sundae
SourceI recorded a Dr. Oz show on Weight Loss Plateaus. Part of that show, this great recipe for his "weight loss sundae"! Looks amazing, easy to make & why not make your food pretty!!! I don't do this but some of my fav blogs do pretty. You know who you are!
"This is not an ice cream sundae – it’s a metabolism-boosting breakfast sundae that’s just as delicious.This treat contains Greek yogurt, banana, strawberries, unsweetened coconut, ground flaxseed and last but not least, Dr. Oz’s secret ingredient: matcha green tea powder. Eat this sundae and you’ll be starting your day off with lean protein and good fats, plus the metabolism-boosting properties of matcha green tea, which is prized in both Japan and South America for its health-benefits.
Like other types of green tea, matcha not only speeds up your metabolism, but is chockfull of antioxidants and other powerful superfood properties such as aiding stress reduction, lowering cholesterol, boosting brain health and fighting cancer. Matcha is available in a concentrated powder and can be found at health food stores."
Ingredients
1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
1 banana
1/2 cup strawberries
Unsweetened coconut, to taste
Ground flaxseed, to desired consistency
Matcha green tea powder, to taste (available at health food stores)
Directions: Combine all ingredients and enjoy!
Now how easy is that!! I am going to try it & not just for breakfast!

I start the day with two 5 hour energy drinks myself
A large breakfast is a bad idea.

I know it's wierd, but I didn't like how the article talked about having a sundae (albeit healthy and tasty looking) and then in another tip about varying your calories from 1000 to whopping 1200. I mean seriously? An exercising adult only eating 1000-1200 calories? That is WAY too little for most people and you couldn't maintain a normal life on that. Well OK *I* couldn't...

I totally missed the calorie thing - BAD ME! Thx for pointing that out! I know people eat that 1200-1400 range but I can't survive on it. I think I may write to Dr. Oz about that! I did not mind the sundae thing.... it sort of looks like one & whatever gets people to eat healthier.. it it helps them, I am OK with it...
Thx for your thoughts!

I don't care what Dr. Oz says, yogurt sundaes ARE a dessert. And I start almost every day with dessert for breakfast. (It's a mind thing that makes me think I'm getting away with something decadent.)(I'm easily entertained.
