Some days you'll have so many fruits you don't know what to do with. Or you just feel too lazy or tired to chew your crunchy fruits. One way to enjoy eating such friends is to make them into a smoothie. I find that I consume twice as much fruits when in a smoothie, than not. You could juice the fruits, but with a smoothie, nothing gets lost. One evening, Atala and I did just that to some apples and pears we had.
Ingredients
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 meduim size Bartlet Pears, cored and cut up
2 Fuji Apples, cored and cut up
1 cup of orange juice
1/2 cup ice cubes
Directions
1. Blend the yoghurt, cut up apple and pears, with the fruit juice on high speed. Add the ice cubes slowly till you get the consistency you want.
These fruits can be replaced with others of your choice. Enjoy!
Myne, your recipes are bam! My mom an I started this new green smoothie fad which has been so good so far. Never thought I would love spinach as much as I do now. And you're right, I am getting more servings in a smoothie than usual. I hate the taste of raw vegetables but these smoothie recipes have come to my rescue, lol. Now if only healthy food were cheaper...
ReplyDeleteIf only, lol... but we have to keep at it.
DeleteTry freezing your apples, you'll need to use less ice in your smoothie.
ReplyDeleteI will do that next time, thanks for the suggestion :)
