Secret Smoothie Ingredient
By Jen, on July 15th, 2011
Okay, so maybe this ingredient isn’t a secret. But its new for me. I made the best smoothie yesterday morning for breakfast. What did I add different? I added strawberry juice! It made the smoothie a lot more flavorful and hid the taste of the brown rice protein, which I must say is more of an acquired taste. Its different.
I had a bag of strawberries in my fridge that I had frozen earlier. After letting them defrost in my fridge for a few days, they turn to mush swimming in juice. Usually I just spoon them out and put them in my yogurt for my morning snack at work. But I wanted to do something with the juice, so I tried adding it to my morning smoothie.
“Secret” Ingredient Protein Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened strawberry juice

- 1/4 cup of raw old fashioned oats

- handful of frozen mixed berries
Instructions
1. Put all ingredients in blender and blend away!
2. Enjoy!

Yum! That’s such a good idea! Especially because I hate wasting things. Way to find a use for the juice!
