My Saturday Smoothie

May 26, 2007

Saturday SmootiesThis is my version of Robek’s Big Wednesday Smoothie, but without the sherbet. It makes two servings and they are 5.5 points each. I buy several different bags of frozen fruits and keep them in my freezer for smoothies. This one is delicious!

I usually make these on the weekend after my workout as a snack before lunch time. I add the GoLean shake mix for protein, and a scoop of fiber, but if you don’t have those available you can leave them out. Today I ran out of frozen peaches, so I used frozen mangos. Trader Joe’s has great bags of frozen pineapples and other fruit. I break it up into 2 large glasses and make a small glass for my daughter. Enjoy!

Measurement Ingredient Points Value
1 cup Ice 0
1 cup Unsweetened frozen strawberries 1
1 cup Frozen pineapple 2
1 cup Frozen peaches (or frozen mangos) 1
1 Banana sliced in chunks (fresh not frozen) 2
1 scoop Kashi GoLean Vanilla Energy Shake 2
1 tsp Daily Fiber Formula (powder Yerba Prima) 0
1 cup Trader Joe’s Tropical Papaya Nectar 3
1 cup Water 0

Add the ice first and use the ice crush feature on your blender. Then add the shake mix and fiber. Add the fresh banana plus remaining frozen fruits and pour the juice and water on top. Select the liquefy setting on your blender and blend until smooth. You may have to add additional water if it does not blend completely.

    This looks sooooo good! We love smoothies at our house, so I’ll have to add this recipe to the list.

    FYI, if there’s a Costco near you, hit up their freezer section for great prices on big bags of fresh-frozen dole fruit and assorted berries. Yum!
