Smoothies: For Breakfast or Snack

Who doesn’t love smoothies? Sorry if that’s you. I love a good smoothie and the variety possible is endless.

They are a quick, easy snack or breakfast. My go to is a simple fruit smoothie. Toss the ingredients into a blender and whip it up to your desired consistency. And enjoy!

Simple ingredients:

1 small banana, 6 to 7 inches -- remove the peel and place into your blender
½ cup of yogurt -- my preference is plain Greek yogurt
½ cup of frozen fruit -- strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
¼ to ½ cup of milk or juice -- any kind will work

Blend away. My blender is great. It has a smoothies button.

I use some frozen fruit and some fresh, more or less. The frozen fruit helps to thicken it up and make a cool concoction out of it. The liquid is only required to help smooth it out and make it easier to blend. No liquid, or very little, will make it thick.

A small plastic cake spatula, or scraper, helps to get the mixture into a glass. And helps break the mixture up if it is not mixing well. Hopefully you are careful in and qualified to operate a blender.

Options:

Any kind of fresh or frozen fruit works. Even frozen chopped spinach for a veggie touch.
