Peppermint Smoothie Delight
Theresa Raffetto
Christmas is coming and one of the best Christmas aromas is the cool refreshing scent of peppermint. Add a little Christmas flavor to your smoothie this year and try adding peppermint to a smoothie. While this peppermint smoothie isn’t exactly healthy, it is wonderful for a treat now and then. If you have peppermint lovers in your family (peppermint bark, anyone?) then this cool smoothie will be sure to please.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt (you can use it unfrozen but it will be too runny)
- 2 cups of 1% milk
- 2 tbs crushed pepermint candy (or peppermint bark for some chocolate flavor)
- 1 1/2 cups of ice
- optional peppermint sprig for garnish
Add to a blender and create your Christmastime Peppermint Smoothie! You may need to blend a little longer to get the peppermint candy pulverized.
Banana Split Smoothie
Too lazy to eat a banana split? How about drinking a banana split? Bananas are great smoothie ingredients so why not bring the split to the smoothie? You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wish, but it tastes great without it.
Ingredients:
- 2 bananas
- 8 oz. crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 1/4 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened strawberries (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tbs. honey
- 6 ice cubes
- 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)
Garnish
- whipped topping
- chocolate syrup
- maraschino cherries
Preparation
Combine bananas, pineapple, milk, strawberries and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth, no lumps. Start adding ice slowly and blending until slushy. Pour into large glasses, preferably chilled then garnish with whipped topping, chocolate syrup, and maraschino cherries. The perfect banana split in a glass.
Power Protein Smoothie
Looking for a delicious and protein packed smoothie? This may satisfy both the needs of your tastebuds and muscles.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 tablespoons chcolate milk syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon dry chocolate pudding mix
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 banana
- 1 cups ice
You may wish to add whey power, which I have and that packs even more protein in this drink. Try one tablespoon for extra protein power.
Raspberry Chocolate Smoothie
This is a combination I haven’t tried before but raspberries and chocolate seem like a good combination so maybe it will be as good as I think it should be. Try this chocolate smoothie with a raspberry zing!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen or fresh raspberries
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 tbs. instant chocolate pudding powder
- 1 cup cream soda (yep, cream soda)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 1/2 cups ice
