It never dawned on me to add flax seeds for extra nutrition, and you can't even taste it.This smoothie is the best I've made so far. I did use raspberry yogurt in place of soy milk. Feel free to substitute based on what you have on hand. Smoothies are great for filling you up and taking away your cravings for sweets. Recipe courtesy of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vegan Cooking. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen, use a mixture) or 1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen, use a mixture) or 1 1/2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen, use a mixture) |
1 cup soymilk (or other non-dairy milk of choice) |
1/2 cup cherries, pitted (fresh or frozen) |
1/2 cup pomegranate juice or 1/2 cup cranberry juice |
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds |
1/2 cup ice cube (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place berries, soy milk, cherries, pomegranate juice, and flax seeds in a blender and blend for 1 minute or until completely smooth.
2. If you're using fresh fruit and would like a frozen smoothie, add ice cubes and blend for 1 minute or until completely smooth.
3. Divide mixture between 2 tall glasses and serve.
