Are Cherries and Blueberries Low Carb?
If you follow Trim Healthy Mama, you may know that cherries are an E fruit, but you can have a handful of cherries in an S helper.
As far as blueberries, you may have up to 1/2 cup in an S or Fuel Pull setting.
So, these fruits can be eaten in a low carb meal if you have just a few, but they are better to have in a E meal.
How Much Protein Is In This Smoothie?
This cherry blueberry smoothie contains over 17 grams of protein in the entire serving!
The main source of protein comes from the nonfat Greek yogurt!
Greek yogurt is always a great way to get your protein when you need something quick.
How Much Protein Should I Have Per Meal and Snacks?
According to the the Trim Healthy Mama Plan book, if you need a number to go by, they recommend having 20-25 grams of protein per meal.
Don’t be in bondage to that number though. Some people may need a little more protein after a vigorous workout. Others may require less protein per meal.
If you’re having a snack, it is good to aim for about 10 grams of protein.
Don’t stress if you have less than that at times, as long as your body feels good about it!
