Sneaky Smoothie Recipes

Homemade smoothies are a great way to help you get in your daily fruit servings. But, did you know this delicious treat can also help you get in some servings of veggies as well? Just a handful of baby spinach added to your smoothie is a quick & easy way to add in extra nutrients while also crossing a serving of veg off your list for the day!

For my smoothies, I typically use frozen fruit - more affordable, especially during the off-season - but always put in fresh fruit when I have it. I simply toss about a cup of fruit into a blender, add a cup of juice (apple, orange, pomegranate, etc.), and a cup of yogurt - you can use fruit or plain. I like to use this yogurt, because it has an amazing amount of protein. Add some flax meal or your own ground flax seeds, your handful of spinach, and a few cubes of ice. Then simply blend and enjoy!

You can adjust the recipe to your taste, and feel free to get creative with your combinations! You can certainly find all sorts of smoothie recipes online, too. You're only limited by your imagination!!!
