List of Ingredients
Something sweet. Don't toss your bananas when they pass their prime.
Freeze them, just as they are. (You could go to the trouble of
peeling and sticking them in a freezer bag, but why bother? Or do
bother if you would rather just peel them, your call) After they
freeze, the peels will turn black. When you're ready to use them,
peel them with a paring knife and place one-half banana per serving
in the blender. The frozen banana also acts as the "ice" for the
smoothie without watering it down. Important step!
Something for flavor: a teaspoon of frozen orange juice concentrate
per serving works well. You can also use frozen strawberries or
raspberries whatever appeals to you. A little vanilla extract is a
nice finishing touch. My favorite smoothie is a banana orange
raspberry smoothie with a splash of vanilla in it...yum!
Liquid. You can use regular milk, soy milk, fruit juice, or even
yogurt mixed with some water.
Protein. I use a scoop of protein powder per serving (If your grocery
store doesn't have this, check a health food store.) Look for high
protein, low carbs, and no aspartame or artificial sweeteners. (don't
float the protein on the top--add it first).
It's time to start your engines turn on the blender! You should have
a delicious smoothie emerging shortly. Pair the smoothie with a whole-
grain muffin, and you'll have one great breakfast. Pour it into a
plastic cup and put the muffin on a napkin and you're set for
carpool!
