A Guide To Smoothie Making |
|
Smoothies are a healthy and great tasting way to start your day, or as a pick-me-up through out the day. However, it can be difficult to come up with ideas for new smoothie recipes every day to stop the same flavor getting boring. Any basic smoothie starts with milk, chopped banana and some yoghurt, but from there, the sky is the limit! The healthiest smoothies use a lot of fresh fruit and are sweetened with honey rather than refined white sugar. If you are used to eating highly processed food and drinking sugary soda drinks you might find the smoothie recipes seem a little bland or sour, but if you persevere you'll soon learn to love the taste of them! You can find some great Smoothie Recipes online today (try VideoJug.com for some great, free films showing you how to make a number of tastey ones), but smoothie recipes can also be invented as you go. For a yummy fruit of the forest smoothie recipe why not combine one chopped banana, a cup of skim milk, half a cup of unsweetened yoghurt, and a cup of assorted frozen or fresh berries. Blend them in a mixer or blender for thirty seconds or until the smoothie has the right consistency. Try raspberries, strawberries, blackberries or even boysenberries all blended together. Taste the smoothie and then decide if it needs any sweetening with honey. Another option for simple smoothie recipes is a delicious apple and cinnamon smoothie. Apple will normally cause the milk and yoghurt to curdle, but if you swirl through stewed apple after making the smoothie base it will work out just fine. Make a basic smoothie, using skim milk, yoghurt and banana, then add a sprinkle of cinnamon to it. Swirl through the stewed apple and a little honey with a spoon and enjoy! As for dessert smoothie recipes, as a special treat, swap the skim milk for chocolate milk, and add a table spoon of peanut butter then blend it well. Garnish with chopped peanuts and enjoy as a healthier dessert treat. Another good idea with smoothies is to use them as a mixer for supplement powders. Do you have a protein or vitamin powder which is good for you, but tastes terrible? Mix it into a smoothie and you'll hardly notice you're drinking it! For a summery smoothie recipe after a long hot day, try blending fresh mango into a smoothie. Be sure to blend it well, as mangoes can have stringy flesh which isn't very appetizing at all! After it's well mixed, drop a few ice cubes into it to keep it cool while you relax and enjoy.
