Tasty Tuesday: Let’s Make A Smoothie!

Although it’s hard to imagine wanting a smoothie on this cool, crisp day here in the south, it makes for a quick, easy, and healthy snack!  Normally I’d be loving 66 degree weather but after months of 90 degree weather, I may have to go grab a winter coat! 🙂

On to smoothie making!

First gather up your ingredients.  I like to use Simply Orange Juice, Trader Joe’s Berry Medley, whatever yogurt we have on hand, and also a banana.  Don’t forget that there is a $1 off Simply Orange Juice coupon available!

Throw your ingredients in your blender, or in my case, I use the Magic Bullet.  I got this a couple months ago from some of my facebook fans recommendation.  I have been really pleased!  I purchased the Magic Bullet MBR-1701 17-Piece Express Mixing Set and we use it all the time!

Throw your ingredients in.  I have never really measured, but I use a half of a banana, a bit of the frozen fruit, couple scoops of yogurt, and then fill in the gaps with orange juice.  Make sure they you leave room at the top for everything to move around and it mixes.  Blend away and enjoy!

What do you like to put in your smoothies?

    For a real burst of nutrition we do green smoothies. My kids looked at them funny at first but now even my picky eaters beg for them (the ones who need it most).

    1 cup yogurt
    1 cup mixed frozen fruit (or any frozen fruit you want)
    2 cups spinach (I buy the big tub at Sams and keep it in the freezer)
    1-2 bananas (I keep these peeled & in the freezer too)
    1-2 cups of water

    This makes 4-5 cups of bright green smoothie. If you use all or mostly strawberries, blueberries etc it will be more brown than green and you can pretend it’s chocolate.

    Orange juice is my favorite juice to use, any kind of berries we have in the freezer, bananas, yogurt (Greek) & honey!

    I use almond milk and I sneak in some ground flax seed – a little extra fiber, and you don’t even notice it!
