The summer provides us with many fruits to keep us fueled up and refreshed. One perfect way to enjoy the fruits of the summer is a smoothie. They are easy and quick to make. They also provide us with an abundance of vitamins! Fruits and vegetables are best when eaten raw. Cooking often breaks down or even destroys some of the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Here is a simple and easy recipe for a smoothie. You can have fun with it by adding different fruits and even a vegetable or two.
Ingredients: (2 servings)
4-5 strawberries
1 small banana
1 6oz. serving of vanilla yogurt (flavored yogurt is also good)
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tsp splenda (or sugar or any other sugar substitute)
6 cubes of ice
***optional*** may add 6 baby carrots or 3 broccoli florettes for additional nutritional value
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on high for 1 min or until completely mixed. Pour into your favorite glass and ENJOY!!!
