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
