Instructions
-
n a blender, add 1 frozen banana (or fresh), and 1/2 cup (120g.) of frozen raspberry (or fresh). If you are using fresh fruit, add 1 cup of ice.
-
Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger (and/or protein powder, seeds, nuts, oats, etc. I stir in seeds at the end).
-
Add 1/4 cup (60g.) of plain Greek Yogurt --Vegan: Use non-dairy yogurt or soft tofu.
-
Pour 1 cup (8 FL Oz) /177ml) of ice-cold water OR just 2/3 cup of water for frozen yogurt consistency. If the fruit is not frozen, at this point add ICE. (I added first 2/3 cup of water, and checked for consistency). Blend for 30 seconds, and it will be frozen yogurt consistency. Pour the rest of the ice-cold water. Blend for 15-20 more seconds. It will be perfect smoothie consistency.
-
Stir in 1 tablespoon of seeds that you have on hand (read notes).
Recipe Notes
If you are using fresh fruit instead of frozen, add 1 cup of ice. Milk could be added instead of water for an even creamier smoothie -Almond, soy, non-dairy, coconut or regular low-fat milk. Vegan: Use non-dairy yogurt or soft tofu.
You can use fruit yogurts too, whatever you are comfortable with. I Stir in my seeds on the end, but sometimes I do add it together before blending. Seeds (add-INs) suggestions: Chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, Hemp seeds, etc.
