I think it’s safe to say that I’m currently obsessed with smoothies. I’ve never been big on breakfast in the morning. That’s probably due to the fact that if I have to choose between waking up early to make breakfast or snoozing until the last possible minute while forgoing nourishment, I usually always choose the latter. But smoothies are the one thing that I can spare 5 minutes for. And they’re totally worth it. As long as you start with the right ingredients, a smoothie can be a nutritionally power-packed way to start your morning. My 1:1 ratio works for any fruit smoothie, so try this recipe with your favorite frozen fruit.
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1 small ripe banana, peeled (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or Regular)
1-2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Toss the frozen mango, peeled banana, yogurt and chia in a blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender, if needed.
Taste for sweetness, and add agave nectar as needed. Serve immediately.
I LOVE my Ninja blender. It has six (yes, 6!) blades. No more chunky smoothies, this baby is a smoothie making masterpiece.
