Love Veggies? Need a quick meal? New Year’s resolution to eat healthier? Need
to use the vegetables and fruits before they go bad? Make a smoothie. Usually, I throw in
whatever veggie or fruit I have in my fridge. For those who are not as adventurous yet, I've
put together a simple formula.
Here is a simple formula:
- 2 cups Fruit/frozen fruit (apple, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, etc.)
- 2 cups of Veggies/ frozen veggies (spinach, kale, celery, cucumber, avocado, and more)
- ½ cup of Liquid (milk, soy milk, fruit juice (beware of the sugar content), Water, coconut water, even tea)
- Blend together.
- Optional - ½ cup of Yogurt or Greek Yogurt
- Optional – Sweetener – I wouldn't recommend it if you’re adding fruit . If you want it sweeter, then I’d start off with a teaspoon then add more to taste. (Honey, sugar {gasp!!no judgment on my end here.}, agave nectar, etc.)
- Optional – a few ice cubes (if you’re drinking it right away and not using frozen veggies or fruit)
- Optional – protein powder, peanut butter or almond butter or chopped up raw nuts
As you can see, there are so many options and flavor
combination. I like to make extra and freeze it. Who has time to blend every
day?
What I had in the fridge to blend:
Kale
Green apple
Avocado
Banana
Orange
Carrots
Water
yummm, can't wait to put this in action.
