The Basic Classic Smoothie
From Michael Sweeney
Ingredients
- 6 frozen strawberries*
3/4 cup plain, low-fat yogurt (feel free to substitute a flavored yogurt for plain: strawberry and blueberry work well)
1 banana
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon of honey
protein powder or flax, optional
Directions
- Place the frozen strawberries in the blender. Let sit for 10-15 minutes, so they have time to thaw.
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend. Check consistency: if too watery, add more yogurt. If too thick, add more orange juice.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Makes 1 smoothie.
*When I made this I thought I had frozen strawberries in the freezer. However I mistook them for raspberries. Instead of running to the store for frozen strawberries, I used the raspberries.
