Categories     Smoothie     Non-Alcoholic     Blender     Fruit     Blueberry     Strawberry     Orange     Pineapple     Healthy     Drink

Yield Makes 6 (1/2-cup) servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces frozen blueberries
8 ounces orange juice
1 cup fresh pineapple, sliced, plus additional wedges for garnish
2 whole strawberries, plus additional berries for garnish
1 teaspoon flax seed oil
1 scoop vanilla protein powder*
2 tablespoons Splenda

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in blender at high speed for 1 minute. Add additional orange juice if smoothie is too thick. If the mixture is too thin, add more frozen blueberries. Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with half strawberry and pineapple wedge.
  • *Any kind of protein powder can be used for this smoothie. Some brands recommended by Cal-a-Vie are Jay Robb Whey Protein, Biochem Sports Whey Protein, and Solgar Whey to Go Protein Powder.

Tips:

  • Use ripe fruits: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your smoothie will be. When choosing fruits, look for those that are brightly colored and free of bruises or blemishes.
  • Freeze your fruits: Freezing your fruits before making a smoothie is a great way to extend their shelf life and make them easier to blend. You can freeze fruits whole, sliced, or diced.
  • Use a powerful blender: A powerful blender is essential for making smooth, creamy smoothies. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you may need to blend your smoothie in batches or strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any chunks of fruit.
  • Start with a liquid base: When making a smoothie, always start with a liquid base. This will help the blender to combine the ingredients more easily and create a smooth, even consistency.
  • Add healthy add-ins: Smoothies are a great way to add healthy ingredients to your diet. Try adding things like spinach, kale, chia seeds, or flaxseed to your smoothies for an extra boost of nutrients.

Conclusion:

Fresh fruit smoothies are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or refuel after a workout. By following these tips, you can make delicious and healthy smoothies at home. Experiment with different fruits, vegetables, and add-ins to find your favorite combinations. With so many possibilities, you'll never get bored of smoothies!
