How to Make a Nutritious Smoothie
Pick fruit that is ripe and in season. All of the vitamins will be retained with fresh fruit and make the smoothie more nutritious and healthy. Wash the fruit. Leave the skin on if possible.
If you choose frozen fruit, make sure that it is not sweetened.
Add natural sweetness to the fruit by adding honey or a ripe banana. This will take the place of artificial sweeteners and sugar and make the smoothie healthier.
If you would like more flavor, you can also add extracts such as cinnamon, nutmeg or banana. Add a drop of extract until you have the flavor you desire.
Add plain yogurt, soy milk or skim milk if you want the smoothie creamier. Do not use sweetened yogurt or ice cream.
Put crushed ice in a blender.
Add the all of the ingredients you have chosen to the ice. Blend the ingredients and the ice.
Taste the smoothie and add more flavoring if you desire.
