Smooth moves

Not all smoothies are created equal, especially when it comes to calories.

The road to fat is paved with healthy intentions. Sometimes, anyway.

Like when the fat-free food craze really kicked off in the early 1990s -- specifically, Snackwells. I thought, "FINALLY! No fat in cookies, I can eat a ton of 'em." Yeah, not so much, unless you want to weigh a ton.

That's why you have to be cognizant of what you're eating -- kinda the point to a story I have coming up in Monday's Scene section of the Tulsa World. It's about unhealthy "health" foods to watch out for.

One of the foods I didn't talk about, though, were smoothies, which I love. But the ones I remember loving the most ended up having several hundred calories.

Here, however, is a recipe for a yummy, filling smoothie I found on SmoothieWeb.com. For my fellow Dubya Dubya followers, it's packed with fruit, which is ZERO POINTS! The cup of low-fat milk and juice is minimal, and I'm sure you can tweak it to your liking.

Berry Healthy Breakfast Smoothie

1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup blackberries
1 medium carrot
1 cup low-fat milk
1 cup pomegranate juice (cranberry is an okay substitute)
2 cups ice

Combine in blender, and mix away; services 2 (although I'd be tempted to claim it as one big breakfast).

Peace, love and pomegranate ... XOXO

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
