Smoothies!

These hot summer days, this is all I want for breakfast and/ or snacks. Delicious, nutritious, and cheap! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CQQ9WuMnip9/?utm_medium=share_sheet

Whoever thought of smoothies ought to be congratulated. They are tasty, healthy, easy, and cheap!

There are many, many variations, so it’s easy to work with what you’ve got! Here’s a rough template for making smoothies:

• Greens: I like to use spinach or kale. Use as much or as little as you like
• Half a banana: frozen or fresh (peeled)
• Frozen fruit: I like a combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cherries, depending on what is in season
• Yogurt: I use my homemade vanilla yogurt. Delicious!
• Milk or juice or water: just to make blending easier. I like using milk.

Throw everything on the blender and blend until smooth. If it’s too thick, add more liquid. If it’s too thin, add more fruit or greens. I like to add chia seeds to mine after blending, for a little seedy texture. Enjoy!
