I should really just quit my job at the retirement center and become a professional smoothie maker. Really. Oh wait, that doesn't exist. While I can't do that, I can share with you a few of my delightful (and healthy!) smoothie recipes.
Peanut Butter Chocolate
Blend:
1frozen banana
2 T peanut butter
1T unsweetened cocoa powder
A splash of milk, soy milk, or water
A few ice cubes
1 handful of uncooked oats.
Health Junkie
Blend:
1 C fresh spinach
A handful of frozen berries or strawberries
1 frozen banana
1/4 whole avocado
A splash of orange juice or water.
Avocado Delight
Blend:
1/2 whole avocado
1 frozen banana
A splash of vanilla soy or almond milk.
Healthy Pumpkin Pie
Blend:
1 frozen banana
1/2 C canned pumpkin
1/4 whole avocado
A splash of vanilla soy or almond milk
Cinnamon and nutmeg, to taste.
As you can probably tell from reading these recipes, I'm all about avocados in smoothies right now. They are super healthy and help to thicken up smoothies as well as replacing dairy. Try one (or all) of these and let me know what you think!
