As I've been plugging away with my dissertation, I've still been cooking and baking, but have been looking for sneaky ways to be healthier in a hurry. This smoothie was inspired by one that I sampled at a wellness fair a few weeks back. Smoothies are fast, simple, easy to modify to your taste, and this one packs a secret ingredient- spinach!
Fruit smoothie with spinach
1/2 cup vanilla soy milk (or whatever milk source you prefer/have on hand)
1/2 cup non-fat plain yogurt (I've also used greek yogurt here for added protein, and the ones with fruit are yummy)
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
1.5 cup spinach (approx large handful)
1.5 cups combo fresh and frozen fruit (I use bananas, frozen berries, pineapple, or whatever's available)
Combine ingredients in blender until smooth and enjoy! I have made a larger batch and then frozen and thawed them out for a snack on campus.
