Pineapple,strawberry and banana with soy milk, mmm, mmm!
I’m a simple person… I mix it up a little from time to time, but my basic smoothie is:
organic plain non-fat yogurt,
“milk” (organic cow’s milk, oat, almond, soy, rice.. whatever I have on hand to thin it out),
frozen fruits- strawberries and blueberries are long-standing favorites, sometimes mango or peach or blackberries
a VERY healthy squirt of flax seed oil
Super simple, easy, lightly sweet and refreshingly tart.
GREEN GENIE
1 cup plain organic yogurt
1 pear, diced
1 kiwi
1 cup apple juice
1cup crushed ice
big, fat drizzle of honey
Whirl in blender until yummy smooth,
Serve with a slice of kiwi garnish.

Ginger Banana Smoothie
1/2 c Plain Greek Yogurt
1-2 Frozen Bananas
Fresh Ginger or Ginger Juice
Agave Nectar (to taste)
It’s a sweet and spicy treat morning, noon or night. Vary the amount of ginger to your taste.
I combine a banana, blueberries, yogurt or creamy soy, honey, and ice, mix it all up in the blender. Yummy.
Portion sizes don’t matter for each ingredient, just whatever my kids happen to throw in.
