Make your own smoothie

I love smoothies. Especially in summer. Usually summer is hot and humid and nothing is better than a cold delicious fruit drink, bonus its healthy for you. I can't take credit for this. I was sent this by one of my friends.  It comes from the blog beautifulfrugallife.com . It is a great idea and that is why I am sharing it with you.

Working and not having time to chop everything you need to go into a smoothie. Here is a way to just grab a bag, milk and blend.  All the work is done ahead of time.

1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 sliced banana
1/2 cup pineapple
4 Green Ice Cubes * see below
2 tbsp. flax seed

Directions:

Combine all above ingredients in freezer bags, seal and freeze. When ready to use pull bag out, put in blender and add 1- 1 1/2 cups of liquid. Blogger uses Almond milk. You can also add 1/2 cup of yogurt to the mix if you would like.  Blend and drink.. Makes 4-5 smoothies

Green Ice cubes  are spinach, kale, or chard that has been blended up and frozen in ice cube trays. These can be used for smoothies and other items such as soups and dinners as needed .


Happy Eating
