It's the New Year and most people are taking steps to be more healthy. If you are looking for a more nutritional treat, here is the recipe for my favorite smoothie. (yes you can enjoy a cold treat in winter. Just turn the heat up a bit) :)
Acai (pronounced ah-SIGH-ee) is a fruit from Brazil and taste like a cross between a blueberry and a grape. It is Trendy because it has the most antioxidants of any eatable fruit!!! I like it for the taste. Many people say it is addicting because it's soooo good.
In a blender combine:
4 oz of Pineapple juice (or apple juice)
2 oz of water or milk
1 cup Acai sorbet
1/2 Cup of frozen blueberries
2 Ice cubes
1/2 fresh spinach (optional)
Blend until smooth. Makes about 16 oz. Adjust ice for desired thickness.
I add the spinach mostly because I can not taste the difference, so why not?
You can add supplement powders. (but if you add whey, cut some of the juice out because whey expands when you blend it)
