    Smoothie Masterpost

    I’m a huge, huge fan of fruit smoothies, to the point where I get HUGE packs of frozen fruit (from Costco of course, I pretty much live there) just to make smoothies. I’m going to make a mix n’ match to make your own smoothie, with the calories listed!

    Start with a liquid (0.5 cup):

    • unsweetened almond milk (20 kcal)
    • skim milk (40 kcal)
    • water (0 kcal)
    • unsweetened cashew milk (20 kcal)
    • 2% milk (60 kcal)

    Add your frozen fruit (0.5 cup):

    • blueberries (35 kcal)
    • mango (60 kcal)
    • cherries (45 kcal)
    • strawberries (25 kcal)
    • peaches (30 kcal)
    • banana (70 kcal)
    • pineapple (37 kcal)

    Optional: add sweetener (1 tbsp):

    • honey (60 kcal)
    • Splenda/Stevia/0 cal sweetener (0 kcal)
    • granulated sugar (48 calories)
    • agave nectar (63 kcal)

    Stick everything in a blender and blend it up! This makes a very thick smoothie (the way I like it!) that I eat with a spoon like ice cream 😛

    Pro tips:

    • You could totally add some cinnamon or other herbs/spices (mint, too!) or even peanut butter (great with bananas) or chocolate chips/cocoa powder~
    • If you’re using something other than cow milk (like almond milk, cashew milk, water, etc.) consider adding a tsp of xanthan gum (10 kcal). It really helps keep everything blended and prevents it from having a slushy texture (unless you like slushies)~
    • For some extra awesomeness, instead of doing half a cup of frozen fruit, do a quarter cup of two different fruits! Some of my favourite combos are: mango & blueberry, cherry & strawberry, cherry & peach, peach & blueberry, strawberry & banana, banana & blueberry. Or, if you’re not too worried about calories (because these are fruits, they’re seriously super good for you) just mix a bunch of ‘em together and see how it goes! Bananaberry (0.25 cup banana, 1 tbsp blueberries, 1 tbsp cherries, 2 tbsp strawberries) is seriously so good and one of my favourites~
