Super Easy Fruit Smoothie
T and I have been eating a lot of fruit smoothies lately. I found a recipe on Men’s Health and made it my own. If you have a blender you can make this, its really easy. Here is the ingredients list:
- 6 ice cubes (or double it if your tray makes smaller cubes like mine does)
- 1/2 cup of frozen berries
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 banana
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp ground flax seed
So start off by putting the ice cubes and the frozen berries in your blender and use the ice breaker or pulse feature to break the ice. I usually like blueberries or raspberries. You want to add at least half a cup, but you can add a little more to make it sweeter and more flavourful. Then add the cup of milk and the 1/2 cup of yogurt and break up a banana into chunks and add that too. I like to use Silhouette 0+ because it has no sugar and low calories, but it is still sweet because it has Splenda. Also you can add a dallup of peanut butter if you like, and for an omega 3 boost add two scoops of ground flax seed. The flax wont change the flavor, just the texture. Once all that is in put it on blend for a minute or so. Depending on your blender you may need to use a spatula to mix it a bit. Once it all looks consistent pour and serve!
This should fill two large glasses or make four smaller servings. Trust me, its delicious.
