The inspiration for this is the Kailua Monkey smoothie at Lanikai Juice in Kailua, Hawaii. Actor Matthew Fox mentioned it as his favorite in the Good Housekeeping magazine I was reading while working out the other night. I only changed it because I couldn't remember exactly what the article had said.

1. 30 minutes on my Gazelle.2. I still feel "programed" to reach for something sweet when upset or bored. But I haven't. Hopefully after 21 days my mind will know as well as my body when I am or am not hungry.
3. My smoothie kept me satisfied all day. I actually had to force myself to eat a salad at lunch. I was worried I'd get hungry all of a sudden and run for a Reese's :P A SmartOnes for dinner takes all the worry out of portion control.
I'm trying this shake RIGHT now! Seriously, I'm not kidding, I'm getting the blender out right now. Thanks for the recipe!
