Fruit Smoothie
My cheap blender has lasted almost daily use for over a decade.
This is a great drink on mornings when you’re not really hungry but need something, or when you’re not feeling well. I make one at least four days a week.
Ingredients:
*½ cup sliced peaches½ cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries
*½ banana
*½ cup orange juice
*½ cup carrot juice
*1 scoop protein power (optional; I use a whey-based protein powder)
*½ cup low-fat vanilla yogurt that has sat in the freezer and is frosty, but not frozen
Combine all ingredients in blender.
I use frozen fruit, then allow the fruit to thaw slightly so my blender blades won’t get stuck on the hard fruit; slightly frozen ingredients makes a colder, creamier smoothie.
Blend until smooth.
