Few Summer things can beat sipping a delicious, fruity smoothie bursting with flavour after a well-spent large amount of time in the sun.
I have been wanting to write about this for quite a long time now, but decided to wait until I got a picture of the smoothie. However, as I pondered on what to post about today, I figured that if I didn't post about the smoothie now then you wouldn't be seeing any smoothie posts until next Summer.
So... the long-awaited smoothie post at last!
I love those smoothies- they are quick, too, so go well with breakfast. Or any meal, to be honest! They are tasty, and you can mix and match flavours. Banana Chocolate? Go for it!
Here's how to make the smoothie- first of all make sure you have:
~ Your base- ideally a fruit or fruits of your choice. For instance; bananas, strawberries,plums. Boil hard fruits in water for a bit until they soften.
~Any other extras- so, more fruit, chocolate, vanilla essence, peppermint oil etc.
~Optional but highly reccomended- milk or plain yogurt, or dairy-free milk such as coconut or soy.
~Optional;sugar,honey or any other sweetener
Once you have all those, you're good to go! <(^O^)>
- Prepare the fruit- so peel and slice banana, peel,boil and slice apples, and so forth.
- Put all the fruit in a food processor or blender.
- Toss in any other extra ingredients. This includes sweeteners. NOT THE MILK/YOGURT/DAIRY-FREE MILK THOUGH!
- Blend the fruit for 5-10 seconds and add the milk/yogurt/dairy-free milk.
- Continue blending.
- Once the texture looks alright to you, pour it out into a glass, stick a straw in it and enjoy!
If you are stuck for extra ingredients, how about those?
- Cinnamon
- Ginger
- Oils such as orange,peppermint and so forth
- Chocolate
- Caramel
- Jam
Good flavours are;
- banana-strawberry
- apple-cinnamon
- caramel-chocolate (a special treat- kind of like Millionaire's shortbread in a glass!)
- chocolate-mint
- chocolate-orange
- strawberry-vanilla
Stay happy,stay safe and have an incredible day!
