I have always loved making homemade smoothies, but I hate cleaning up the blender afterwards. I finally purchased a single serving blender and LOVE it! These things are awesome, and there are lots of options that are very reasonably priced. I have the G&E and it was under $20 and works great.
Here is a really quick and easy fruit smoothie that I make a lot.
Easy Fruit Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup frozen fruit
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
3/4 milk
Add 1 cup of frozen fruit of your choice. I really like something with mango in it!
Add some low-fat Vanilla yogurt, approximately 1/4 cup.
My cups have a max fill line, so I add approximately 3/4 cup of milk.
Put on the blending lid and blend together for approximately one minute. I often take it off, shake it up a little bit and then put back on the blender for another 15-20 seconds.
Add a straw and enjoy!!
Interested in some other options?
Sometimes I use orange juice instead of milk, or half and half. Need a little extra fiber in your diet? Add some Branbuds just before you blend it up. Want to make it a dessert? Add some ice cream. Want to make it look beautiful and taste great? Add a dollop of whipped cream and top with a strawberry. All of these options are delicious!
I would love to hear what you do to make your smoothies extra special! Leave a comment so that I can try them out!
Looks delicious! I know sometimes mom adds a splash of the flavored coffee creams, like the French vanilla or something similar.
