A little back history on the name…
The “Sarah Bear Smoothie” is my one claim to fame on the Ranch! Getting a food named after me was a victory that I hoped for but hardly believed could happen because I struggled so much in the cooking department while on the show. We were required to cook for ourselves on the Ranch and the kitchen was always kept stocked with the best foods available. Meal time was fun and exciting for most Biggest Loser contestants, but I would end up staring blankly into the refrigerator for the entire hour having no idea what to make—and in the end copying someone else's meal.
When someone would invent a certain dish that became popular amongst the crowd, we would name it after that player. Because I couldn't come up with anything new on my own, my day would basically consist of eating the Irene for breakfast, the Courtney for lunch, and either the Justin or the Jay-bird for dinner (recipes that I will for sure be sharing!). You get the idea. So, you can imagine my overwhelming joy when I invented this smoothie and everyone loved it so much they started calling it "the Sarah Bear"! I was ecstatic! Not only did it receive my name—which made me feel cooler than Lady Gaga—but it was also given the best breakfast award AND the best dessert award. And since it received both awards I feel justified now in eating it for both breakfast AND dessert in the same day. It's just that good. Enjoy!
The Sarah Bear Smoothie
-
2 cups of frozen strawberries
-
1 cup of almond milk
-
1 cup of Greek yogurt
-
Sweeten to taste with Truvia
Once again, I busted out the Magic Bullet (you can use a regular blender if you’re cool like that). Add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend. That’s it!
It’s Bob and Jillian approved so you must try it… and let me know what you think!

I bought some almond milk to try out the other day and wasn't a fan. I have all of the ingredients, though for this recipe, so I'm going to give almond milk another shot. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Sarah,thanks so much for the post! I'm super excited for you to share your insights! I have a question…. You mentioned to sweeten with truvia. Is truvia better for you than say splenda, or agave nectar? I NEEEED sweetness in my life, but I have to figure out a sugar substitute.

And I have to tell you my husband and I are huge Biggest Loser Fans!! And you were awesome on the ranch! Wish we could've gotten to know you better…they didn't show much of the red team at first 🙁 But you and your mom made a great team! And it sounds like you're doing great, keep it up! 🙂 My husband's going to die when I tell him that I wrote a blog comment to you! 🙂
