I absolutely LOVE fresh fruit smoothies. Last year I went through a phase of making smoothies every day, usually twice a day and unfortunately I slipped from that healthy routine once winter came. I'm now trying to get back into that routine and as I find new healthy, tasty recipes I will gladly share them with you as long as enjoy what I am sharing.
Today I made a green smoothie with one whole organic banana, a hand full of organic baby spinach, about a quarter cup of frozen blueberries (thank you Boy Scouts of America!), one heaping teaspoon of organic honey that we pick up from a local small business, a splash of orange juice and some ice cubes. I like my consistency pretty thick like an Orange Julius so I blend and then add more ice and blend again. I use a small ninja blender where the cup is the blender so when you are done you just put a lid on the cup and go. It's so convenient!
When you use greens like baby spinach the smoothie turns a green color which most don't find too appealing however the flavor is very fruity. Very tasty and incredibly healthy. So please don't let the color turn you away this is a nice little treat and for someone like myself who normally doesn't care much for spinach I can get it in this way and not even taste it!
Smoothie time!
Please share your smoothie recipes as well. I'd love to try something new!
