Grapefruit Smoothie
I personally don’t like grapefruit, but my wife loves them, so there must be others who would enjoy a grapefruit smoothie. While it is too tart for my tastes it is an ultra healthly smoothie recipe.
Smoothie Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed is perferred
- 3/4 cup of sliced pineapple
- 1/4 cup of pineapple juice (this will sweeten it up nicely)
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 cups ice
- Optional: feel free to add a scoop of ice cream for an even sweeter taste.
Mondo Mango Smoothie
I love a good, ripe mango and adding it to a smoothie with sherbet ice cream is delicious. Forget about the the nutrients in mango as well as the fiber, you’ll want this for the great taste. One of my favorite smoothie recipes with mango.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup orange sherbet
- 1 banana
- 2 cups mango, sliced
- 2 cups ice
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Breakfast Replacement Smoothie
Trying to get out the door in the morning and eat a good breakfast is a tough combination, so finding a good smoothie combination to help me is a good idea. Well, I like Grape Nuts cereal and I like to mix it in yogurt and eat it with lunch or for a snack. So why not blend it into a breakfast smoothie? So I did.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Grape Nuts cereal
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (low-fat)
- 1 cup ice
- 1 banana
- 2 cups juice (orange, apple or whatever you like. I wouldn’t mind trying pineapple in this)
Blend and feel the energy!
