My son came home from school the other day and was in the mood for a "shake" but what he really meant was something healthy, not ice cream related. I had already showed him how to make the banana drink
http://tastytalkwithamy.blogspot.com/2011/08/banana-drink-easy.html but we were out of bananas so he couldn't make that after school and I didn't need to grocery shop for a few more days. I knew we had frozen fruits in the freezer for my husband's usual breakfast smoothie so I took from his bag of fruits, used some of his whey protein powder (shh, don't tell him LOL!), a cup of milk, oh yeah borrowed some of his Greek yogurt as well and blended it all together in the blender and there you have it, a fruit smoothie! I know it is nothing new but it is healthy and very filling. This recipe makes approximately 3 cups once all is added to the blender and I can drink it all by myself for a meal and I just love the gritty texture from all the seeds from the fruits.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups assorted frozen fruits, by using frozen you have no need for ice cubes ( I use blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries) Wal-Mart sells their Great Value brand of frozen fruits with no sugar added and I prefer those and they are not as expensive as the name brands and are just as good.
- 1 scoop whey protein powder
- 3 tablespoons Greek Yogurt
Directions:
Add all the ingredients to the blender and blend away. Enjoy!

I buy all these fruits individually and then I pour them all into a gallon sized Ziploc and shake it up and store it in the freezer and scoop from that bag for my smoothie. |
