A Wonderfully Refreshing (and healthy!) Smoothie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • unfiltered apple juice (enough to cover blades in blender)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or cherries (or all of them combined!)
  • 2-3 ice cubes
  • Spiru-Tein brand high protein energy powder- vanilla flavored
  • chunky almond butter - roasted and unsalted
Directions:

If you have a regular blender, put apple juice and banana in and blend on "grate" until most of banana is smooth. Then add other fruits and blend again until smooth. Then throw in ice and blend until smooth. Add 1 scoop of powder and blend for a second to mix thoroughly. Pour into glass and add a few spoonfuls of almond butter, and enjoy!

The key to a yummy smoothie is to blend until there are no chunks, and to make it really cold. The almond butter is a yummy addition and a good source of calcium and protein and the good kind of fat (it only has 1 gram of saturated fat for 2 tablespoons).

I have found these smoothies very filling and a good breakfast before going on your day. My body thanks me every time I feed it one of these smoothies, which is once and sometimes twice a day!

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 10 min (depends on type of blender)

  • 2 tablespoons vegan sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

Combine all in a blender and process until smooth.

*If you like a "smoothie" consistency, OMIT the ice.* *If you like a "slush" consistency, ADD the ice.*

I find this is best enjoyed by a pool or when reading a really trashy novel. (Don't feel guilty..You're getting a serving of fruit!!)

Enjoy! :)
