Blueberry Smoothie Recipe
Description
The Blueberry Smoothie Recipe blends thawed frozen banana with skim milk and fat-free vanilla yogurt to create a creamy base. Adding flax seed meal contributes a subtle nutty flavor and extra fiber. Frozen blueberries are incorporated slowly during blending to maintain an even texture and vibrant color. The final drink is smooth, mildly sweet, and refreshing.
The preparation involves cutting the banana into small pieces for easier blending, then combining initial ingredients before gradually adding the blueberries on low speed. This technique prevents lumps and ensures even distribution of fruit throughout the smoothie.
This smoothie suits a moment when a cold, fruit-based beverage is desired without added sugars or heavy creams. It's convenient to make and offers a balance of fruit sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel, enhanced by the flax seed meal's textural contrast.
Ingredients
- 1 banana thawed for 10-15 minutes, frozen
- 1/2 cup milk skim
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt fat free
- 1 1/2 tsp flax seed meal
- 2/3 cup blueberries frozen
Instructions
- Cut your banana into small pieces. Add bananas, milk, yogurt, and flax seed meal to a blender. Blend for 5-10 seconds, until smooth.
- Gradually add the blueberries while blending on low. Increase speed, and blend till you've reached your desired consistency.
