Hi there! Happy Monday!
The sun is shining here today which is making this week start off right! I hope the sun is shining where you are, too. I try to be reasonably healthy, and during the week it’s usually pretty easy for me, but the weekends are filled with a lot more temptation. Because of that, I start almost every Monday morning off with some sort of healthy breakfast smoothie. I have always loved smoothies, and would buy them occasionally, but that got pricy! My husband and I got a Ninja Professional Blender with Single Serve for Christmas this past year and I started making smoothies at home. If you would like a review or more information on the Ninja Blender, please leave me a comment (click the link next to the title of this post), or find me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram! I like that I know what’s going in my smoothie when I make it at home. I also like that I can get so many fruit and veggie servings in so easily. Today I want to share two simple smoothies with you that I have been making on a regular basis.
SIMPLE YOGURT FRUIT SMOOTHIE:
Serves 2
Prep Time: 3 Minutes
Blend Time: 1 Minute
What you need:
A blender
A glass
A straw *optional
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
1 cup of orange juice (any juice you prefer is fine)
1/3 cup strawberry greek yogurt (regular yogurt is also fine or a different flavor)
1/2 of a ripe banana
1/2 cup of ice
1/2 cup of frozen fruit (I used a strawberry and banana mix)
Directions:
Add everything into your blender and blend until smooth. Enjoying with a fun straw is completely necessary!
FRUIT PARFAIT SMOOTHIE:
Serves 2
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Blend Time: 1 Minute
What you need:
A blender
A glass
A straw *optional
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
5 strawberries ( fresh is best but frozen is also okay)
1/4 cup raspberries ( fresh is best but frozen is also okay)
1/2 cup almond milk (regular milk is also fine)
1/2 cup granola
Directions:
Blend the fruit and the milk until smooth. Pour your smoothie into a glass and top with the granola. I usually eat this with a spoon at first before switching to a (fun!) straw.
Finally, take a mandatory silly picture showing how much you’re enjoying your smoothie!
