Berry Smoothie Tips<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

What is the best liquid to put in a smoothie?<\/h3> \r\nThere are many great liquids to put in a smoothie. We recommend fruit juice or milk (any type, including nut and soy milks), or kefir, a fermented dairy milk that has even more belly-friendly probiotics than yogurt. Milk and kefir provide protein, while juice lends a sweet taste. You can also use a mix of the two in your smoothies.\r\n\r\n

What are the benefits of a berry smoothie?<\/h3> \r\nBerries are packed with anthocyanins, powerful compounds that help protect our bodies from inflammation and disease. They\u2019re what give berries their bright red, purple and blue colors. Fruits are also great sources of fiber, and berries are some of the most fiber-rich fruits around. (Psst! Did you know all these health benefits of strawberries<\/a>?) \r\n \r\n

How do you thicken a smoothie?<\/h3>\r\nThere are many ways to thicken a smoothie. Go cold: frozen fruits (and even ice) naturally make a smoothie thicker. (Learn how to freeze your own fruit<\/a>.) Choose creamy: bananas, avocados, and even nut butters lend a thick, rich feel to your smoothies. Add greens: spinach disappears into a smoothie while it helps to thicken it.\r\n\r\n

What are the healthiest ingredients to put in a smoothie?<\/h3>\r\nFruits and vegetables are the healthiest things you can put into a smoothie, as well as milk, yogurt or kefir. Supplement powders, ground ginger and cinnamon are good-for-you options, too. Here are dozens more smart ways to sneak more veggies<\/a> into your diet.","Metadescription":null,"AboutRecipeTitle":"About This Berry Smoothie Recipe","AboutRecipe":"Smoothies like this one are a refreshing and healthy way to start the day. Our Berry Smoothie is a simple combination of milk, frozen strawberries and frozen raspberries that's blended with a little sugar for sweetness and ice cubes which lend the frothy goodness that makes smoothie recipes<\/a> so delicious.

<\/div>
You can make it vegan by using a non-dairy milk alternative<\/a> like soy milk, almond milk or rice milk. (These are our favorite non-dairy milks<\/a>.) If you're using in-season berries picked at the height of sweetness, start out with less sugar and add more to taste. <\/div>","DigitalHeadnotes":"With two busy teenage boys in our house, getting everyone to eat well before school is a challenge.

This sounds really good and I'll try it. I do have a similar smoothie that I make and would like to share: Mix 1 small carton of vanilla or plain yogurt, 1\/2 c. pomegranate juice, and 1 c. frozen mixed berries. Blend. Really good.<\/p>

try adding some plain yogurt in place of the milk for a thicker shake. if you add Faje or another greek yogurt you will add protien. also, try adding almonds & blend up as directed & that works as protien too.<\/p>

remember: 20 mins after blending this it starts to change into sugar. so for the healthiest smoothie you should drink it before 20mins has elapsed.<\/p>

AND, it has 8 grams of fiber total, so about 3 grams per serving. Yum-O!<\/p>","CommentId":30,"DateRated":"","GUID":"6FCC3D79816E40E78AEB36EAD54331C7","MemberId":3261117,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"dchenson","SubmittedDate":"08\/01\/2008 11:13"},{"Comment":"

It's an even better nutritional bonus if you use a non-caloric sweetener (like Splenda) instead of the sugar and swap out the milk for an 8oz. container of your favorite no-fat or low fat yogurt. As a bonus that makes it nice and creamy and thick!<\/p>","CommentId":31,"DateRated":"","GUID":"44f093b412e148ccbaf37e39d92eb0eb","MemberId":2098115,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"SerDaniels","SubmittedDate":"08\/01\/2008 08:40"},{"Comment":"

The fiber just posted is for the whole recipe. For 1\/3 of the recipe it would be about 2.7 g fiber.<\/p>","CommentId":32,"DateRated":"","GUID":"e3c04c33d0e14a4ab5def1ff83a6b378","MemberId":1297434,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"MargeAZ","SubmittedDate":"08\/01\/2008 00:28"},{"Comment":"

The nutritional info is incorrect.<\/p>

1\/2 cup of raspberries = 4.2 g fiber, and 1 cup sliced strawberries = 3.8 g fiber.<\/p>","CommentId":33,"DateRated":"","GUID":"e3c04c33d0e14a4ab5def1ff83a6b378","MemberId":1297434,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"MargeAZ","SubmittedDate":"08\/01\/2008 00:26"},{"Comment":"
