\nEven though it was hot enough to fry an egg on the street this morning (97 degrees and counting!), I resisted; and instead, I pulled out my blender from under the counter, dusted it off and declared it “Smoothie Season.”
\nA great way to start the day. Cold, refreshing, overflowing with antioxidants (from the ripe, luscious fruit) – smoothies are the best. Here are a few of my best recipes! Bottoms up!
\nSUMMER BERRY BLAST<\/strong>
\nToss 1\/2 cup blueberries, 1\/2 cup strawberries (hulled and de-leafed), 1\/2 cup pitted cherries, 1\/4 cup 2% Greek Yogurt and a handful of ice into your blend and blend it baby, until smooth. Pour into a large glass (did I really have to tell you that?) and serve it up with a smile!
\nThe R&O Special<\/strong>
\nPut 1\/2 cup raspberry and 1\/2 cup freshly squeeze o.j. in a blender and blend. How fast and easy was that??? And delish too!
\nOh … what’s the “R” and what’s the “O?”
\nRaspberry and Orange! \ud83d\ude42
\nP&B plus Love Smoothie<\/strong>
\nToss 1\/4 cup 1% low-fat milk, 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup, 1 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, 1\/2 frozen sliced ripe banana (peel & slice bananas, toss in zip-lock bags, freeze for smoothies!), 1\/2 cup plain greek low-fat yogurt (I like 2% best, but if you want to go fat-free, be my guest!) and blend! No ice needed ’cause the banana is frozen!!!
\nMade with love!
