I never cease to be amazed at the variations you can make for smoothies – even with the same ingredients! A few fresh healthy ingredients full of nutrients and flavor, a tall glass, a straw … simplicity itself! Oh and, of course, the blender. This can be a simple wand blender or a top of the range high-speed one.
In this recipe Wendy at AroundMyFamilyTable combines the perennial favorite of strawberries and banana, but any berries will do. Berries are great with bananas as they are lower in calories than other fruits which compensates for the higher-calorie banana. And the addition of granola and coconut helps keep you full for longer, as well as preventing a sugar spike that the fruit on its own can cause.
We usually think of smoothies for breakfast or snacks but have you ever thought of having one for supper? Wendy says …
I love having a bunch of quick recipe ideas in my recipe box for quick snacks, drop in company, or just cuz I’m in the mood to make something tasty! Even though smoothies aren’t typically supper fare, I do have them on occasion when I’ve had a big breakfast or lunch and need something a little lighter for supper. I think y’all will love this layered … smoothie for supper.
