How to Make a Healthy Fruit Smoothie

Smoothies can be an important part to a healthy diet. They provide lots of vitamins and can help boost your immunity during cold and flu season. Plus they taste great! Learn to make a healthy fruit smoothie in only four easy steps.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Blender
• Ice Cubes
• Honey
• Strawberries
• Non fat Vanilla yogurt
• Banana
• Peaches

1. The first step to make a healthy smoothie is to get out your blender and place six ice cubes in it. Add 4 ounces of non fat vanilla yogurt. I recommend using the yogurt brand Yoplait.

2. Now add two tablespoons of honey, 1/2 cup of strawberries, and 1/2 cup of peaches. You can use fresh or frozen. Add chunks of banana to the smoothie now.

3. Put the top on the blender and blend the smoothie for one minute. If you still have chunks of fruit, blend for thirty more seconds.

4. Once the smoothie is completely blended pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy! For a more refreshing smoothie place the glass in the freezer for fifteen minutes prior to drinking the smoothie. This will make your smoothie even more cool and tasty.

Tips & Warnings

• Add seasonal fruit to your smoothie. In the summer, blueberries and pineapples are a great choice.
• This smoothie is vegetarian friendly!
