Fruit smoothies are great for a quick, healthly breakfast on the go or when ever you want a refreshing snack.
I use a Magic Bullet to make mine, but you could use a regular blender if you don't have one.
I freeze large slices of over-ripe bananas in a ziploc baggie just for smoothies. This way I don't make banana bread out of them all the time!
Strawberry Banana Smoothie
1 banana - sliced
4-5 frozen whole strawberries (I use no sugar added)
1 cup soy milk
splash of orange juice
1 tsp. ground flax seed or wheat germ
Combine ingredients into a Magic Bullet or blender.
Blend for about 30 seconds or until smooth.
Pour into a glass and enjoy.
Serves one.
I drink mine out of a Mason Jar for extra cuteness :)
You may think the spinach and banana smoothie sounds kind of gross, but it's really yummy. You can barely taste the spinach and it's a great way to get a serving of veggies in your diet. Give it a try!

ReplyDeleteAnother green smoothie! I've seen several on blogs today and I have just got to make one ASAP! I have spinach in my fridge that's calling me to try a green smoothie for the first time :)
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of freezing the bananas. I have always wanted to try a spinach smoothie. After seeing this I am off to buy some smoothie spinach!!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love spinach because I make smoothies with it all the time. Now they'll devour fresh spinach any day! Try pineapple with juice, banana, spinach, ice and little squeeze of lime. Mmmmm.
