Slimming Smoothie |
Smoothies are a fantastic addition to any diet, offering a delicious way to incorporate fruits and other nutritious ingredients. The best part is, you have complete control over what goes into the blender, allowing you to manage the calorie, sugar, and fat content. Here's a simple recipe for a great afternoon snack smoothie with fewer than 200 calories. Once you've grasped the basics, you can experiment with various flavor combinations using your favorite fruits, low-fat milk, and creative add-ins like chia seeds, cocoa powder, or even spinach.
Joy's Slimming Smoothie Recipe
Fruit Base- Begin with 1 to 1.5 cups of fruit.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries, raspberries, mango pieces, pineapple cubes, peach slices, or any fruit of your choice. For bananas, half a banana equals half a cup.
Milk
- Mix in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of milk.
- Options include skim or 1% cow's milk, unsweetened almond milk (plain, vanilla, or chocolate), unsweetened soy milk, or light coconut milk. Start with 1/2 cup; adjust based on the fruit and additional mix-ins, possibly going up to 3/4 cup.
Add-ins
- Be selective with your add-ins.
- Enhance flavor and nutrients with options like 1 teaspoon of nut butter, small chocolate chips, or 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut, chia seeds, or cocoa powder. Use 1/4 cup if adding low-fat Greek yogurt or canned pumpkin. Don't forget the nutritious benefit of a handful of spinach—it changes the color but not the taste!
Note: Feel free to experiment with the quantities based on your taste preferences.
