Let's Talk Smoothies


Today I thought I would share a couple easy smoothie recipes.  I am absolutely in love with my Ninja Bullet.  I love that I can make so many different smoothies.  I am not really into the protein powers.  They can get a little pricey.  So instead I use Instant Breakfast & I think it works pretty good.  I usually get the variety box. I come with Strawberry, Vanilla, Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate & Chocolate Malt pouches. I thought I would share a couple recipes that can be altered to fit any taste.

The 1st one I am going to share is Chocolate & Peanut Butter Smoothie. I just use the amount of milk that the Instant Breakfast says to. Which is 1 cup with either Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate Instant Breakfast Pouch.  I use the Milk Chocolate because I am just not a big fan of Dark Chocolate. Put that in the bullet cup thing.  Next add about 2 tablespoons of Peanut Butter.  I normally get the Jif to go.  It has the perfect amount of peanut butter for the smoothie.  Then add ½ cup of regular yogurt.  Blend all that together.  Taste it to see if you want it sweeter.  I normally add a little honey.

The 2nd one is Strawberry.  It is basically the same recipe as the Chocolate & Peanut Butter Smoothie.  You just use Strawberry Instant Breakfast pouch instead of Chocolate. I also add frozen strawberries to get more strawberry flavor and because I love strawberries.  I have also added Blueberries.  I did try raspberries before it was good I just didn’t like that seeds did get blended up very well.

I just think that the Instant Breakfast works just as well as the protein powers & it costs less!!

 Until next time,
Kristin
