Smoothie Suggestions:
For more flavor and healthy benefits, try substituting frozen fruit for ice cubes in ordinary smoothie recipes. If you are freezing fruit yourself, peeling, coring, and chopping beforehand makes the process easier. Add protein to make your smoothies more meal-worthy using milk, soy milk, yogurt, protein powder, or silken tofu. To reduce thickness, you can add juice, milk, soy milk, or rice milk. For additional sweetness without sugar or sugar substitute consider bananas, honey, agave syrup, maple syrup, or rice syrup. All of these choices are much better for you! Flax seeds and oats are a great way to further balance the nutrition in your tasty treat.
