Smoothies...a building Block for Healthy Living

One of our favorite things to do is make nutritious smoothies. They are easy and fun to blend up. I would recommend a good quality blender because once your family gets a taste of these, they will be asking for Smoothies often!

The Basic Smoothie:


2 bananas

10-12 frozen strawberries

1 cup of apple juice
 
 
The High-C Smoothie:

2 bananas

1 orange

2 kiwis

10-12 frozen strawberries

½ cup of frozen blueberries

1-2 cups of orange juice
 

Eclectic Smoothie

2 bananas

1 apple

1 orange

1 chunk of fresh pineapple

1-2 cups of apple juice
 
There are so many variations and options. You can add any fruit and sometimes you can add soymilk, whole milk or rice milk.  Our family enjoys these as a wholesome breakfast, midday "pick-me-up" snack
or even a bedtime snack. I sneak in some BarleyLife for an added serving of fibre and important vitamins especially for the little ones.
