Recipe Introduction
These are Ann's favorite concoctions.
List of Ingredients
1 can fruit with fruit juice (undrained)
1-2 small bags frozen fruit
Optional add-ins that will not negatively affect flavor
coconut oil
spinach, 1 handful or less, hides best in dark colored fruit
cabbage, 1 handful
chia seeds
cinnamon
cucumber, I've heard but haven't tried
ice or frozen fruit, if it needs to be thicker
water or liquid, if it needs to be thinner
a little tart cherry juice
1/3 or less scoop vanilla protein powder
Recipe
Put liquids in the blender first, then solids, frozen on top.
If you have an ice crusher option on your blender or pulse, use that at first.
Then blend on high speed.
If you need to stop the blender to break up frozen chunks and stir things up, please UNPLUG IT first.
If the mixture seems too thin, add more frozen fruit or ice cubes.
If it is too thick, add another can of fruit or fruit juice.
Freeze leftover smoothies in flattened ZipLoc.
Thaw in refrigerator until melted and slushy, then serve.
Or add the frozen leftover smoothie as a frozen ingredient in a new smoothie or freeze in popsicle molds.
Ann's Notes: My favorites are cherries, blueberries, pineapple and peaches. I often add 2 mango chunks, but more than that is too much for me. (Use any combination of fruits.)
