There will probably be a lot of smoothie recipes on this blog because I have grown fond of them and because I bought a Blendtech blender and my good wife wants me to use it. Along with my wife, my grand kids like smoothies too. Hopefully by mid April I will be off the Coumadin and go back to my green smoothies. I wasn't drinking them regularly last fall when I developed a blood clot and was put on the drug and my Dr.'s have asked that not start drinking green smoothies again until I get off the medication in mid April. I told them if I don't get off in April then we will have play with my numbers because the green smoothies are coming back into my life. As strange as it sounds they did satisfy my hunger all morning. I did drink a number of them before the clot, but I could not get my wife to try them, due to the color. Those recipes will be included here too in the future.
The first recipe is for a smoothie I made this morning. It is for a Strawberry Banana Smoothie. It comes from the GIMME SOME OVEN blog. Check out Ali's blog at http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/strawberry-banana-smoothie-recipe/Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen Strawberries
1 fresh banana, peeled
1 cup milk ( I used unsweetened almond)
1 cup ice
1 Tablespoon honey, if needed (I did not use any)
Directions:
Add all ingredients to a blender, and pulse until combined. Serve immediately.
(if the smoothie is too thick, add more milk. If it is too thin, add more fruit and/or ice.)
