Smoothies are wonderful. The options are endless. Almost any fruit combination works, and you can add anything from spinach or kale to flax seed. I make mine with greek yogurt (protein, yay!) and a combination of fresh/frozen fruit. Never ice or milk. Ice never crushes that well in my blender, plus it gets watered down. Milk always got too frothy. Yesterday I made a yummy smoothie, and I thought I’d share. What I used:
One cup of frozen blueberries
One medium banana, sliced (my slices were slightly frozen)
One cup fresh strawberries
One cup plain greek yogurt and a splash (~1/4 cup) of juice to get things moving a little easier.
Yum. Blend away!
Perfect consistency, thickness, and it tasted damn good.
No added sugar (unless you count the splash of juice, which contained probably 2 grams of sugar) and full of protein, vitamins and minerals. Perfect snack!
