LIGHT STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE



Light Strawberry Smoothie image

Made this over a thousand times now, and I never get tired of it! Takes care of my appetite and sweet cravings, with no fat and little calories. Sometimes I'll even add half a banana or 20-25 blueberries to change it up a bit, or even 1/4 cup of pomegranate juice. This makes 1 HUGE serving, or just add 2 more strawberries and use 1/2 a cup of milk instead of 1/3 and you'll get 2 medium servings.

Tips:

  • Use frozen strawberries: Frozen strawberries are a great option for smoothies because they are readily available, affordable, and retain their nutrients well. They also help to make the smoothie thick and creamy without adding ice.
  • Add a variety of fruits and vegetables: To make your smoothie more nutritious, add a variety of fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, blueberries, spinach, or kale. This will give your smoothie a boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
  • Use Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a protein boost: Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are both high in protein, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied after drinking your smoothie. They also add a creamy texture to the smoothie.
  • Use almond milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free option: If you are lactose-intolerant or vegan, you can use almond milk or coconut milk instead of cow's milk in your smoothie. These milks are also lower in calories and saturated fat than cow's milk.
  • Add a sweetener if desired: If you like your smoothies sweet, you can add a sweetener, such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia. However, keep in mind that added sugars can quickly add up, so use them sparingly.

Conclusion:

Strawberry smoothies are a delicious and refreshing way to start your day or refuel after a workout. They are also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. With endless variations, you can customize your strawberry smoothie to suit your own taste and dietary needs. So experiment and enjoy!
