Super-Sipping Summer Smoothies

Marcie Jones 1 Comment

A fruit smoothie can be as delicious as a milkshake (okay, almost), but instead of butterfat is rich in fiber, flavor and vitamins. Add in the protein and calcium from yogurt or milk and a smoothie can be nutritious enough to replace a whole meal. That’s particularly handy when your stomach can’t hold much, or hold down much.

The basic recipe: 

  • 1-2 cups of fruit
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy, soy or almond)
  • 1 cup of ice

Fruit combinations to try:

  • Hydration Vacation: Banana, mango and coconut water
  • Strawberry-Banana: One banana per cup of strawberries
  • Melon and Almond Milk: Two cups of chopped honeydew or cantaloupe, almond mik and a touch of honey
  • Kiwi-Strawberry: Use two peeled kiwis per cup of strawberries
  • Peach Mango
  • Purple Passion: Blueberries, grapes, cherries and a dash of vanilla
