How to make a super yummy fruit smoothie

This particular smoothie is a green smoothie. I simply added about half a cup of spinach to my smoothie for an added nutritional and color boost. The flavor doesn't really change that much.



With smoothies the sky is the limit. I'll tell you one of my favorite smoothie recipes and give you a few hints I've learned along the way. First of all you need a good blender that will crush ice well. I use the Ninja blender and it does a good job for me. Secondly, using at least one banana in your smoothie gives it a good creamy base. And, my daughter and I both prefer using a tablespoon or two of sugar free orange juice concentrate in our smoothies to give it that added tanginess and sweetness. For a little extra sweetness, a bit of agave nectar or honey can be used. And, a couple of pieces of ice give a nice thick iciness to the overall drink.  Yum. So... here is a yummy smoothie recipe for you to try:



Half a cup to one cup of soy or almond milk (or your fav. milk or milk substitute)

7 frozen strawberries

1 to 2 frozen bananas

1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar free orange juice concentrate

half a cup of frozen blueberries

3-4 ice cubes if fruit is not frozen, 1 or 2 as needed if fruit is frozen

half a cup of spinach - optional



Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into two glasses. Enjoy! :o)
