What comes to your mind when we say smoothie? To some it is a refreshing drink and to others it's a quick breakfast meal. Smoothie is a rich yogurt or milk-based preparation, blended with fruits, nuts, veggies or any ingredient of your choice. You can customise your drink as per your palate. If you happen to be a vegan, you can replace milk or yogurt with almond milk and soy milk. We have a luscious smoothie idea, which you can treat yourself with- it is mixed berry smoothie!
Here's The Recipe For Mixed Berry Smoothie For You:
Strawberries, along with a range of other berries (raspberries, blueberries blackberries etc), are nature's gifts that are not only luscious, but also rich in antioxidants. Berries also contain fibre, which may keep people full for a longer time and ward off weird time hunger pangs. Tangy and delectable berries blended with milk and yogurt make for a thick and creamy fare you would not want to miss. If you don't have fresh berries at home, you can also make this drink with dried mixed berries.
Ingredients:
Mixed berries- half cup
Milk- half cup
Yogurt- half cup
Vanilla essence- one teaspoon
Honey- as per taste
Ice cubes- optional
Preparation:
Step 1. Take the berries, milk, yogurt, honey and vanilla essence in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
