Member  45  Central Illinois |  Subject: Smoothie Help!I am pretty-much a healthy-eating newbie. How do I make a fruit-protein smoothie? I'd like to make this for my husband and I's breakfast. No laughter please! |

Master 1993   Riverside, IL | Subject: RE: Smoothie Help! I use a very basic and simple recipe - 8oz skim milk handful of blueberries (fresh or frozen) handful of blackberries (fresh or frozen) 4-5 strawberries - sometimes I'll throw in half a banana 1 heaping scoop of whey protein (I prefer vanilla-flavored, but will use whatever I have on hand) A few ice cubes Throw it all in a blender (use a good one with an ice-crushing blade) until smooth and thick. If you like a thinner consistency, either use more liquid or less ice cubes. |

You can add yogurt, honey, etc. for flavor also. Others will use milk or water instead of juice.
I do similar but put in equal parts juice and milk or yogurt. I like the peel bananas before I freeze them. 3/4 C juice and milk 1 banana Cup of berries Scoop of protein powder |
