Homemade smoothies are a great way to have a nutritional snack. Enjoy a smoothie for morning or afternoon tea. Why not pack it with extra nutrition by adding some greens, its a great way to get more leafy greens into your diet and you won't even taste them in your smoothie - try this
2 tblsp yohurt
2 tblsp protein powder (optional)
1 tblsp linseeds (flaxseeds - its omega 3)
1 tblsp wheatgerm
1 tblsp oat bran
add some greens such as
- hand ful of spinach
- 1 cluster of boy choy or similar leafy green
- some sprouts
- celery
add your choice of fresh or frozen fruit (why not try a combo of two)
- frozen blueberries
- kiwi fruit
- strawberries
- mango
- pineapple
- pear
- banana (if freeze adds a nice creamy texture to smoothie)
The smoothie will be thicker, colder and creamier if you use some frozen fruits such as berries. Berries also add an antioxidant punch.
