Super Easy Smoothies

I know that smoothies are very popular right now, with more and more specialty stores popping up, and many restaurants adding them to their menus. But you can make your own smoothies at home, for much less money, and they will be way healthier than their Juice It Up sugar loaded counterparts.

There isn't an exact science to this. Just throw the ingredients in your blender go!

a small container of yogurt or about a cup--can use plain, vanilla, or any flavor you'd like

a couple handfuls of fresh fruit (favorites are strawberries, blueberries, bananas, kiwi, raspberries-you can use ANY)

a handful of ice
*OR you can use frozen fruit and not add ice

a splash of fruit juice or milk--add more if your smoothie is not liquid enough to drink

a spoonful of protein whey powder-optional

Blend on puree or higher speed, until ingredients are well blended and mixture is smooth.

Yep, it's that easy. Enjoy!!
