These nutrition-packed drinks are very dessert-like. Kids and adults alike love them for breakfast or a snack. Smoothies are especially good for an after-exercise pick me-up. Use blueberries instead of strawberries for your kids and call them "Blue's Clues" Smoothies. The smoothies can be made with yogurt, skim milk or soy milk, based on your personal nutrition goals.
- 1 cup skim milk, soy milk or nonfat plain yogurt
- 1 T sugar
- 2 cups frozen strawberries, unsweetened (roughly 1/2 of a 20 oz. bag)
- 1 6 oz. banana (a ripe frozen one is especially good)
- 3 T wheat germ and/or ground flax seed (opt)
- 3 ice cubes (if your strawberries aren't frozen)
Buzz together in a food processor or blender. This produces a thick, frozen consistency, perfect for eating with a spoon.
Can substitute other fruits - blueberries, peaches, your choice!
- 1/2-1 cup orange juice
Add fruit juice to attain the desired consistency, perfect for sipping through a straw. Serve with a bagel or a Breakfast in a Cookie for a complete meal or snack.
