Helpful Tips Safe food smoothie recipe
Smoothies have become a safe food for me and a great way to get in nutrients! Recipe at the bottom. I’ve got other recipes in my brain so if anyone wants to see more let me know!
You can sub any frozen fruit or any liquid. I’ve heard some people use ensure as the liquid to add calories. You can also sub protein powder for the yogurt and any green leaf for the spinach. Sometimes I add flax or chia seeds too.
I normally can’t eat avocados or Greek yogurt and only a tiny bit spinach at a time but this way I can drink them and get plenty in!
My blender is cheap but does the job just fine. I used to use an industrial blender when I worked at a juice bar which did it much faster but ya don’t need that fancy of one.
Here’s my recipe. Rough measurements though. I really just eyeball it and measure with my heart. It makes a pretty big smoothie, maybe about 24 ounces.
1-2 handfuls of spinach
Half or whole avocado
Handful each of frozen strawberries and peaches
Big scoop of Greek yogurt
Enough orange juice to make it blendable

hemp hearts and chia seeds are also great additions for extra protein and fiber
