This semester, I've been on a smoothie kick. It's petered out a little as the semester progresses, but I've got one go-to smoothie recipe that I love for a quick breakfast on the go, a second breakfast to take with me to my long morning class, post-workout snack, or anytime snack!
Ingredients (For One)
1 Banana (fresh, or if you have a problem with banana going bad before you can eat them,
break it up and put it in a baggy to freeze it like I did here!)
A small handful of frozen pineapple chunks
A handful of spinach
Heaping Tablespoon of ground flax seed
Heaping Tablespoon of chia seeds
1/2 to 1 cup of Almond milk (or milk of your choosing)
Directions
This is so easy to make! I have a Bella blender (this one) so it comes with the cups to blend in. I just add everything in, usually spinach first, followed by the fruit, the flax & chia, and then top it off with the milk. Then blend away! Sometimes I have to add more milk, or I decide I want more pineapple or a second banana. The beauty of smoothies is that it's quite easy to customize and adjust what you are doing.
If you try this recipe, let me know what you think!
