Today's Smoothie

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today we made a smoothie with:

1 cup kiwi-strawberry Snapple
1 cup Brown Cow vanilla yogurt
1 banana
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup ice

The result is a fairly bright pink, a little on the thin side, with a slightly tropical strawberry flavor.  This is a good all-purpose strawberry smoothie.

If you want it thicker, just freeze the banana.

That's a good idea.

You can also freeze your base liquid, like juice, but freezing fruit is easier. A lot of stuff like strawberries and tropical mix, we just buy in big bags from the freezer sections. Bananas I freeze myself if they ripen too fast.

I used to use frozen yogurt back in the day, but I don't see it like I used to.

Frozen yogurt works great as a base for dessert-type smoothies, which have the advantage of not being empty calories. However, it's usually sweetened more than desirable for other smoothies. It's hard to find unsweetened plain or minimally sweetened vanilla like you can in cartons.

I'm always amazed by people who can avoid sugar and white flour. I know those things are important healthwise, but I suck.
