College Dorm Smoothie

September 23, 2009 · Filed Under Dessert Smoothies, Fruit Smoothies · 2 Comments 

Most of us don’t really have a package of frozen strawberries or a container of plain yogurt (not to mention flaxseed) lying around, but we crave smoothies too!  So this is for you, ESPECIALLY if you’re a college student and you can swipe all these items from your dining hall.

Ingredients:

  • 4 ice cubes
  • All-fruit Popsicle (I used Edy’s strawberry Fresh Fruit bar)
  • 1/2 cup of orange juice
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 6 oz flavored yogurt (I used Yoplait light banana creme pie)
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1/3 packet of instant oatmeal (I used Quaker Low Sugar Strawberries and Cream)

and just blend it all up!

Submitted by a college student, obviously.

Strawberry Smoothie with Dates

August 26, 2009 · Filed Under Strawberry Smoothies · Comment 

A strawberry smoothie with a surprise of sweetness, dates! The almonds add a nice unexpected flavor as well, but I will never underestimate the humble date again. What do you think about this slightly unusual strawberry smoothie?

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup strawberries
  • ¼ cup almonds, soaked
  • 3 dates, pitted and soaked
  • 1 cup water

Soak the almonds and the dates separately (for at least several hours), then rinse. Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Lemonade Tart Smoothie

I like a tart smoothie better than a sweet smoothie and I bet a few of you are like me. This smoothie recipe is for all of us who like a little pucker during our smoothie sipping. Let’s keep this smoothie recipe simple. And please give some feedback in the comments below if this was a hit or a miss.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of lemonade
  • 2 cups of frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup of fruit yogurt. I like either strawberry or raspberry flavored. I also choose low fat.
  • 1/2 cup of ice
  • Garnish with a slice of lime if you want to get fancy

Not much else to do but blend and enjoy the tartness of life.
