Mmmmmmmmmmm smoothies. What a delicious way to get a ton of fruit in one, easy serving. I am definitely on the smoothie bandwagon and highly recommend it for folks that have trouble getting their daily servings of fruit (and dairy for that matter). An easy way to make smoothies is to invest in a 'magic bullet' style blender that lets you prepare, blend and drink all of your ingredients in one container. I find that I'm much more motivated to prepare a smoothie if I don't have to lug out the big blender and have to wash the thing afterwards.
A quick tip: buy fruit when it's on sale and freeze it in a big zip-lock freezer bag. Fresh fruit like strawberries, blackberries, mango, melon, pineapple and blueberries can all be bought ahead and frozen. To make your life much easier, DO NOT WASH THE FRUIT before you freeze it. This will prevent the fruit from sticking together (berries are especially prone to chunking together). You can prepare melon balls, slices of peaches or chunks of pineapple in the same way as the
bacon I did up a few posts ago. Toss all your fruit in the same freezer bag and you've got fresh, frozen mixed fruit for future smoothies. Just be sure to wash your fruit before you blend it. So easy. So yummy. Bon appétit!
Ingredients:
1 banana
5-6 large frozen strawberries
1 tsp. honey
1/2 cup of plain yoghurt
1 cup of milk
Directions: blend and enjoy!
