My favorite "Sweet" Quencher

I haven't made one since the start of this lil' competition, but it's on reserve when a get a sugar craving OR just want a delicious breakfast. Plus, it at least takes care of 1-2 servings of fruit depending on how much fruit you put in.

Fruit Smoothies

1 frozen banana
1 yogurt, flavor of your choice (I love Dannon's Light & Fit)
A few chunks of frozen mango
approximately 1/4 cup of frozen berries
approximately 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk
a splash of lime juice (optional)

Blend to your desired consistency. The frozen banana after blended makes the smoothie silky smooth.

I have frozen mango on hand, but really you can add whatever fruit combination you like best. I also just bought milled flaxseed from Costco (I got sucked in by one of their taste testing booths), which I will try experimenting with by adding a few teaspoons in the smoothies to add an extra boost of omega-3, fiber, and protein. "They" say it blends in smoothly in fruit smoothies. I will see...

Yummy!

  1. I've had flax seed in a smoothie and it was fine in there.

  2. I also love fruit smoothies, I made one the other day and put zucchini in it, my kids didn't even notice and it was all the more better for us.
