The weather is warming up and I'm starting to think about frozen treats. A frequent summertime dessert in our family is the fruit smoothie. Have you made them? They are easy and good for you! Here's the recipe for one I made recently. I hope you enjoy it.
Marionberry Smoothie
In a blender, add:
1 banana, frozen
1/2 cup Marionberries, frozen (or other berries of your choice)
1/2 cup pineapple, frozen
1 Tbsp. chia seeds (optional)
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. stevia (herbal sweetener)
1 cup soymilk (or other milk of choice)
water
Blend on high speed until all ingredients are mixed and smooth. Add water as needed to obtain a thick, yet pourable consistency. Taste and adjust ingredients to fit your tastebuds. Enjoy!
Serves 2.
*Sometimes I add a protein powder (about 2 Tbsp.) for added body and depth of flavor. I really like hemp powder, but sometimes use soy protein powder as well.

ReplyDeleteHi there, This recipe sounds wonderful; now that spring is here I'll be juicing and having smoothies. I love stevia too. Wow is all I can say about the comments you've had-I wouldn't even know where to find out how many comments have been left. Happy Mother's Day!
