smoothie recipe

Post by dino »

Note: Keep in mind that these ingredients are suggestions so feel free to add your
own creative twists to them. Here are some things that I do:
I always use nonfat milk.
• Adding ground flaxseed and/or wheat germ is always a good idea.
• I like to use frozen fruit (keeps longer and keeps the smoothies thick). For
bananas, peel them in advance before putting them in the freezer.
• A touch of cocoa powder is a nice way to tweak a smoothie for a chocolate
taste. Almond extract also adds nice flavor. Other popular spices include
cinnamon and nutmeg.
