Weekend Smoothie

So my wife is currently pregnant — 8 months in with twins. Her eating schedule and requirements have changed a lot over the course of the pregnancy. She has to eat lots of small meals throughout the day. One of her favorite things to buy when she is in the city is to buy smoothies. This counts as one meal, has lots of calories, and is good for her and the babies.

After going to th local smoothie cafe with Bonnie — you know I was thinking “man, I can make these at home. They will be just as good and cost way less”. Now we make them every Saturday & Sunday morning for our morning snack/breakfast. After making them I pour one pint glass for me. Bonnie adds protein powder to what’s left in the blender and blends that for a minute to get the protein powder mixed in real well.

Here is the recipe. Makes enough for 2 pint glasses:

• 2 Cups Orange Juice
• 1/2 Cup Yogurt
• 1 Banana
• 1 1/2 Cups Frozen Strawberries

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend on high for 3-4 minutes until smooth. That’s it — and enjoy the natural energy boost you get !

Some more tips:

• Feel free to experiment. I’ve also used grapefruits, raspberries and other fruits substituted for the banana or strawberries.
• Frozen strawberries come in a big bag and will last a long time in the freezer.
• Keep a 1/2 gallon of OJ in the fridge just for making these !
