Well, friends, I used my new blender today for the first time. I LOVE it! I used a smoothie recipe I'd pinned on Pinterest and, as usual, made some modifications and did a lot of eyeballing... It turned out okay. I like it. I think using grapefruit juice instead of water or pineapple juice might have been a mistake and I can't decide if I like all the pineapple bits... but it isn't bad! I'm still drinking it, anyway.
The recipe for the
Pineapple Ginger Smoothie is:
- 1 and 1/2 cup of diced fresh pineapple (I eyeballed it)
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (eyeballed again and I used vanilla Voskos)
- 1 tbsp of grated fresh ginger (I didn't have any)
- 1/2 cup of ice (oops, forgot this one)
- 1/2 cup of pineapple juice or water
Here is what I did:
- some diced fresh pineapple
- 1 banana
- 1/2 a single serving container of vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice
Not bad, but the grapefruit juice does add a tartness I'm not sure I like in this smoothie. And if you are not a fan of chunks/pulp this smoothie is not for you.
Tomorrow... another smoothie! Got any good recipes I should try?
make a chocolate milkshake (milk, cocoa powder, maybe a touch of vanilla and maple syrup) and throw in a handful or two of spinach and/or kale.....maybe a bit of banana too....you can't taste the greens at all!
