In effort in trying to eat healthier......I have been trying new things. I was always the weird child who lived in on Cheerios and peanut butter & jelly; never one to branch out and try new things. As I am getting older, I have been better. I am may not like it, but I will at least try it!
I always have loved fresh smoothies, but can never replicate them to their finest myself in my own kitchen. Always something wrong with them...too thin, flavor isn't right. After many failures, I kind of just gave up! But about two weeks ago, I came back in new inspiration. I went to the store, and bought some fruit, and was ready to try again! I finally came up with two similar recipes, that I, the picky eater have deemed good! I hope you like them too!
Good Morning Smoothie
1 cup of orange juice
1 whole banana
2/3 cup frozen blueberries
5-7 frozen strawberries cut in half
1/4 raspberries
Good Morning Smoothie II
1 cup of orange juice
1 whole banana
2/3 cup frozen blueberries
5-7 frozen strawberries cut in half
Since it is frozen mostly, it will take some time for the blender to mix, but it is worth it in the end. You can always add more or less fruit. For example: today I only used 3 strawberries, but they were HUGE strawberries, and probably equaled about 7 normal sized strawberries. I haven't experimented with other fruit yet, but it is on the way. A very healthy breakfast smoothie, no dairy! You can always add some protein powder or flax seeds for extra nutrition!
I take it to work in my reuseable cup I got at Bed Bath and Beyond for $7.99.
Here is the link, with a 20% off coupon it came to like $6. Bring it, wash it, reuse it! It comes with the cup, lid, and straw.....dishwasher safe!
