For breakfast, I need something quick and healthy that will get me through the morning. This smoothie is perfect for that.
The recipe is really simple, so after making it a few times, I had the recipe memorized. My mom found this recipe and passed it on to me and my sister and now it’s something we all frequently make.
Smoothies in the morning are perfect because it’s so portable – I can carry it around and drink it while I get ready for work or take it in the car as I drive to work.
One of the things I also like about this recipe is that I can portion out smoothies for the week in Tupperware containers. In each small container, I put the banana, yogurt and apple juice and stick it in the fridge until the morning I want it. In the morning, all I have to do is put that mixture in the blender with frozen fruit and a little bit of honey and breakfast is ready.
Berry Smoothie
1/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/3 cup apple juice
1/3 of a large banana, sliced (half a banana if it’s small)
2/3 cup frozen berries (I use a mix of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, but you can use any type of frozen fruit you like
Honey, to taste (I like the added sweetness, but it’s based on your preference)
Directions:
In a blender, combine all ingredients except honey. Mix until smooth. Add honey if needed and blend until mixed.
Serve immediately.
This makes one serving.
