Its a Guilt Free Smoothie Affair

As I have mentioned Im a lover of ALL smoothies. I try any smoothie once, if I dont like it, I tweak the recipe. I have mentioned I am vegetarian and semi- vegan, I dont drink milk. If a recipe calls for milk I replace it with soy, coconut or almond milk. Its very hard for many of us to fit in all the daily servings of fruits, veggies, and dairy, and smoothies are a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone. Just remember KEEP IT CLEAN. If you start adding a bunch of over processed ingredients, and sugar you are defeating the purpose of drinking HEALTHY smoothies. Use natures best sweeteners, honey and fruits.

Mango Madness 

1/4 cup of cubed mangoes

1/4 cup of ripe avocado, mashed

1/2 cup of mango juice

1/4 cup of fat-free vanilla yogurt

1 tablespoon of juice

1 tablespoon of sugar

6 ice cubes

Add all the ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth.

Apple Affair

1/2 cup of skim milk or soy milk

6 ounces of vanilla yogurt

1 teaspoon of apple pie spice

1 medium-sized, chopped apple

2 tablespoons of cashew butter

6 ice cubes

Place all the ingredients in the blender and then blend until smooth; best eaten with a spoon!

                                                                                      Raspberry Avocado Smoothie

1 peeled and pitted avocado

3/4 cup of orange juice

3/4 cup of raspberry juice

1/2 cup of frozen raspberries

Place everything in the blender and blend until smooth.

This combo may sound a little over the top to even imagine what this smoothie must tast like. I promise if you like the taste of raspberries and avocados separately then you'll love the combo. Dont be afraid to swap ingredients, I dont like raspberries, so I use fresh or frozen cherries. Do not use the cherries in a jar or can, that adds empty calories. Keep it clean!

Banana Almond Smoothie

1 banana, sliced and frozen

1 tablespoon of almond butter

2 teaspoons of flaxseed

1/2 cup of almond milk or non-fat yogurt

A drizzle of honey

Half a teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract

Place everything in the blender and blend until smooth

This Smoothie sounds super lush and luxe but relax this simple smoothie is full of flavor not on calories!
