I'm sorry that I don't measure anymore so I don't know the exact meaurements.
Morning Shake
1 banana
like a 1/2 cup of plain yogurt
a couple spoonfuls of ground flaxseed
about 3/4-1 cup of berries
3/4 cup of milk/water--add more if smoothie is too thick
a handful of spinach leaves
A couple of times I have also added oats and cinnamon to it. I don't know if Mark liked it very much when I did that though. ;)
When Mark makes one he substitutes the milk and does vanilla flavored protein powder and water instead. He also adds carrots.
If you want a recipe for a smoothie with measurements, this is off the same blog that I got the refried beans and tortillas. It's called http://www.100daysofrealfood.
Tasty Smoothies
- 1.5 cups plain organic yogurt
- 1 cup berries, fresh or frozen (or we have tried 2 oranges, peeled)
- 2 bananas (or 1 – 2 tablespoons of honey if you don’t like bananas)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ – ¾ cup fresh spinach leaves (I also tried adding some leftover broccoli instead of the spinach. My husband said I took things a little too far, but the kids still sucked it down!)
- Optional: if using fresh berries (instead of frozen) add some ice cubes
What's the difference between plain organic yogurt and greek yogurt? which one do you like better? and where do you find flavored greek yogurt that is not too expensive costco?
ReplyDeleteI think the difference is that greek yogurt has a ton of protein in it and normal yogurt doesn't have as much. I don't buy flavored or organic greek yogurt because of the price but I would love to find organic greek yogurt at a good price. I buy the kirkland brand of greek yogurt at costco because it isn't as expensive. I don't worry about flavored greek yogurt because I only really eat it in smoothies.
