Blueberry smoothie
Ingredients
-
1 banana, peeled, cut into 5 pieces and frozen ( I do a bunch at a time and freeze them in a ziplock bag)
-
1 tablespoon all-bran (optional)
-
1 teaspoon peanut butter (optional)
-
as many blueberries as you like. I freeze them ahead to have them throughout the year
-
enough soy or almond milk to cover the fruit in the blender
Directions
-
Put your frozen banana pieces and frozen blueberries on a small plate and do a quick 30 second microwave thaw. If using fresh blueberries, hold them back.
-
Add your bran and peanut butter (if you like the idea) in the blender bottom, and then dump in your bananas and berries. Lots of options here: a little fresh ginger is nice, or strawberries make a nice mix.
-
Pour enough soy or almond milk over fruit until it's barely covered, and blend on high until smooth.
-
Pour into a generous glass and top with fresh blueberries.
