This heat wave has been the perfect opportunity for me to try out some new smoothie recipes! Summer is the perfect time for something light and refreshing and what better than a nice cold smoothie?? I've a strawberry and bannana girl at heart but I've found a few ways to tweak my old time favorite...
Soy Banana Strawberry Sipper:
1 ripened banana (the riper the banana the sweeter the smoothie)
1 cup of strawberries (frozen or fresh, whatever you have on hand!)
1 cup of soy milk
1 cup of ice
and blend away!
The soy milk is my secret ingredient for all smoothies because it instantly give your smoothie a nice creaminess that I find skim milk lacks. Try yours with almond milk or greek yogurt for some variation!
This smoothie is a great meal replacer of an excellent pick me up after a hard core workout. I instantly love anything with peanut butter so this tastes like a delicious dessert for me but its high in protein and the protein/carbohydrate combination is great for rebuilding muscle after some strength training.
1 ripened banana (the riper the banana the sweeter the smoothie)
1.5 tablespoons of peanut butter (I like skippy's creamy reduced fat)1 cup soy milk
1/2 cup of oats
1 cup of ice
The oats make the smoothier denser, helping you stay full longer!
