I have nothing witty or exciting to say. I'm too tired and grouchy. Knowing full well that when I went to my friends house for buncco tonight that it would be land of munchies, I made a protein shake. This is more of a what do I have in the refrigerator type of smoothie. So, I'll give you a run down of what the elements are and you can play with the flavors. The beautiful thing about it is that you can't really mess this up.
Whatcha Got Smoothies?
- In a blender place the following:
(All the measurements are estimates-just use good judgement)
1 banana
4 baby carrots (yup, put them in)
1 large handful of frozen fruit (replaces the ice-bonus-serving of fruit)
1/4 cup of applesauce
1/4 cup of yogurt (any flavor besides plain-greek is the best)
1/2 cup of juice (orange is a staple)
1/4 cup of milk (I use coconut for an interesting tang)
Squirt of honey
1 heaping scoop of protein powder
2 TBS wheat germ
*If you buy the proper ingredients and watch for no added sugar, buy juice that contains veggies, you instantly have 2 servings of veggies and 3-4 servings of fruit. I know the carrot thing looks weird but it actually adds a nice kick of sweetness. Just follow the basics and toss in what ever fruit you have. If you are short an ingredient add more of another. Again, the measurements are just a guess. I just eyeball it depending on what I have. Just make sure you check the labels, sugar hides everywhere is sooo many different forms.*
