The entire smoothie will run between 400 (without tofu) and 450 calories with tofu.<br /><br />Kate, maybe you will not be next. Just do those monthly self-exams, annual mammograms and keep loaded up on phytochemicals. :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393428886240353218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950652920990617686.post-81956469207667759722010-01-22T07:22:16.129-06:002010-01-22T07:22:16.129-06:00Yea... its one of my goals too ... eat healthier! ...Yea... its one of my goals too ... eat healthier!

I've always believed your diet should be colorful, the more colorful the better, every color has its benefits and the reds are the best :) I try to get as many antioxidants as possible since my grandmother and mother have had breast cancer (and like you overcame it), sadly it will be my turn some day too.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07177977094835269643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950652920990617686.post-16307283692566889002010-01-21T18:02:14.101-06:002010-01-21T18:02:14.101-06:00Thanks for the validation, Rae.

People who had healthy diets did so much better in fighting their cancer and keeping it in remission. Just think what could be prevented if we ate healthy like that beginning in childhood. You are making great choices.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.com
