Aloha Smoothie
Posted by MRC Kitchen on June 26, 2020
There's no better way to say "Aloha" to Summer than by kicking the season off with a perfect Summertime smoothie! Smoothies are a simple and quick breakfast option with virtually endless combinations! In the spirit of Summer (and all of that Vitamin D-rich sunshine it brings), we've got a fantastic Aloha smoothie to share with you today.As with all smoothies, you could use whatever fruit combinations you like. Some of our Summertime and tropical favorites are strawberries and pineapples; so, that's what we've used in our recipe. Fresh or frozen fruit - either one is fine for this recipe. To give it a final little tropical kiss, our secret ingredient is a splash of banana extract!
When consumed at breakfast, this recipe makes an entire meal! You could also enjoy it at lunch or dinner with a side salad or other fresh vegetables alongside it. It's quick. It's simple. Cleanup is a breeze! What more could ask for? ...other than maybe one of those tiny tiki umbrellas to go on top!
Ingredients:
•4-6 oz. plain, non-fat Greek yogurt*
•3/8 C. strawberries, fresh or frozen
•1/4 C. pineapple, fresh or frozen
•1-2 oz. water
•Zero-calorie sweetener, to taste (optional)
•1/4 tsp. banana extract
•Ice
Instructions:
- Place all ingredients in a blender, and mix until desired smoothie consistency is reached. Tips: If you're using frozen fruit, then you won't need as much ice. If you prefer a creamier consistency, then use less ice and more water. If you prefer an icier/milkshake texture, then use more ice.
- Pour into a frosted mug (or travel cup if taking to go), and enjoy!
