Smoothies in Seconds
These smoothies begin with a cup of milk or two generous scoops of yogurt, a sturdy base for so many kinds of whizzed goodness. A splash of water loosens even the most reluctant blenders – I’m looking at you, almonds! – and a few cubes of ice, added after it’s all smooth, keeps the temperature chill. More honey? Okay. Less banana? Yep. Adjust these smoothies to suit your taste buds and hunger level. Unlike juices, smoothies offer the whole goodness of the produce without sacrificing fiber. Pour your creation into a bowl and add a handful of granola or chopped nuts for a fuller meal with a satisfying crunch.
