    Cup of Yum

  3. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Unless the frozen fruit has added sugars, it is as good for you as the fresh stuff. Not only that, but it stays fresh longer. You can keep frozen strawberries and bananas for over a year. To ensure you get the best fruit, buy your fresh fruit and freeze it yourself. Another reason why frozen fruit is a better deal is because it is so much cheaper.
  • You can get frozen strawberries for half the price of fresh. Now, frozen fruit is almost a necessity for smoothies. Not only does it make the smoothies thicker, but it also prevents you from having to add ice to them. When you add ice, they get watered and are not as flavorful.
  • Another way to thicken your smoothie is to add chia seeds, oats, or nut butter.
  • Do not use sugar, sugary yogurt, or dried fruit in your smoothie to keep it healthy.
  • If you use juice, make sure it is unsweetened.
