Delicious Smoothies

Members Were Sparked

When I make a smoothie, I always start with frozen fruit. That way I don't need to add any ice to thicken it up!

MORE INFORMATION:
It's easy to keep healthy smoothie ingredients on hand since frozen fruit doesn't go bad even half as fast as fresh so you can always have a healthy meal or snack ready to go in a few minutes. Throwing overripe fruit (especially bananas!) into the freezer is also a great way to cut down on waste.

Kefir

Kefir - a milk product you can find in health food sections is so thick and delicious, you would think it full of fat and calories. I add 1/2 cup to my morning cereal and feel like I'm eating like a queen for only 55 calories. It is filled with probiotics, has a pleasing bite to the taste.

MORE INFORMATION:
Also is good in smoothies.
