I have recently become obsessed with making my own smoothies. I know, I know. I’m kinda jumping on the “jucing”bandwagon a little late, but guess what. Smoothies are delicious, FACT. And, they’re a great way to get all your servings of fruits and vegetables in one meal. You can make them in bulk, freeze them, and then drink them as needed. It’s a pretty great thing, and this recipe is both tasty, filling and full of protein. I would even recommend it as a great treat for kids, because of the name and the general yumminess.
You can put whatever you want in smoothies, it’s totally your call, but some smoothies are better than others. This recipe has been tested and it has been confirmed as delicious. So, feel free to try your own recipe, or this one. I really have no way of knowing.
Ingredients:
2 cups mixed berries (I used blueberries, raspberries and blackberries)
1 banana
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
2 cups baby spinach
1/3 cup non fat greek yogurt
1/3 cup non fat milk
1 cup ice
Throw it all in a blender and blend it up!
See, there’s the blender.
One thing I’ve found that works, if you like the effect of crunchy iciness, is to blend all the ingredients except the ice together and refrigerate them. Then later, blend that with ice when you’re ready to drink it.
This smoothie is filling and full of vitamins. And this recipe makes 2 giant servings. Perfect for breakfast. Or like, whenever! Buen provecho!
