What makes smoothies so wonderful? Well, for one thing, they're delicious. Aside from that they make great on-the-go meals and are also great for using ingredients you may not like to eat, like spinach. Yes, I put spinach in my smoothies. You don't taste it, I promise.
Today's smoothie is a Tropical Morning smoothie that I found in Fitness magazine. If you don't subscribe you can find the exact article here along with some smoothie tips! I'm going to go ahead and post the recipe here though because we all know I made some changes!
Tropical Morning Smoothie - Original Tropical Morning Smoothie - My Way
6 oz plain, nonfat Greek yogurt 6 oz plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks 3/4 cup frozen variety of mangoes, pineapple
1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks and strawberries
1 frozen banana, chopped 1/2 of a frozen banana, chopped
2 Tbsp ground flax seed 2 Tbsp ground flax seed
To make the TMS put all your ingredients in a blender and blend. Super simple! I opted for only half of a banana to keep the sugar content down. I was also lazy and did the fruit blend because I didn't feel like paying for frozen mangoes and pineapples when they sold a mixed bag! This was super tasty and a little on the thick side, which I didn't mind. If it bothers you, add a wee bit of milk when blending. You could also add a little bit of coconut to this, if you want to go all out tropical island style.
Come back tomorrow for some guilt free dessert!
