It seems like smoothies-especially green smoothies-are all the rage these days. I still haven't gotten my family on the band wagon, but I like a smoothie every once and awhile. Here are some tips for smoothie making.
1. First choose a liquid: apple juice, cranberry juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, milk, water, almond milk, you get the idea. It can be nearly any liquid or juice.
2. Choose a base: Vanilla yogurt, Greek yogurt, crushed ice, tofu. Something that will give your smoothie a good texture and consistency
3. Add in fruit and veggies: The sky is the limit, but try to balance out your fruit. If you have a really strong fruit , trying adding another more moderate fruit to balance out the flavor. Also don't be afraid to add vegetables. I usually just stick with spinach. I feel like it still tastes like a fruit smoothie, but you're still getting in those healthy greens. Experiment a little and you'll quickly find a few favorites.
4. Extra mix ins: Don't be afraid to add a few other things as well. Protein powder, honey, agave, peanut butter, flax seeds, almond, cinnamon.
Try making a new smoothie this week and let us all know how it goes!
