A. Smoothies are awesome! They taste great and are full of minerals and vitamins. Plus you can whip them up as quickly as a 90-second Ramones’ tune.
The beauty is no recipe is required. Nice!!! Just keep these 3 main elements of a smoothie in mind and you’ll never go wrong.
First you’ll want something sweet. Fresh fruit or berries are always a good choice. You can also use honey to can crank up the sweetness factor.
Next we don’t want our smoothie to be as thick as ice cream so a liquid is required. Any type of fruit juice works. Milk from a mooing cow or soy milk can also be used.
Finally a smoothie requires something to thicken it up and make it….well…smooth. A banana, yogurt or even crushed ice can do the trick.
Don't be shy to add some additional touches so its flavor fits your style. It could be a touch of vanilla, a few pinches of nutmeg or allspice or even some type of liqueur. Malibu rum anyone?
Here are 3 you can try.
Mango Pineapple Smoothie
Orange-Almond Smoothie
Raspberry Banana Smoothie
