21.) "Mango Raspberry Smoothie" (yummmm)
ReplyDeleteMango Raspberry Smoothie
By Erin on June 9, 2009
Ingredients:
1 cup frozen mango
1 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup milk
3 1/2 cups of water
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
Directions
1. Add fruit, flaxseed, milk and water to blender. Blend about 30-40+ seconds, and enjoy.
Makes about 32 oz. of smoothie…enough for 4 cups!
**Note: I did not add any “sweeteners” to this smoothie. I thought it tasted great and both boys drank theirs right up. If you use not so sweet mangoes or raspberries, you might consider adding 1/2 cup of your favorite sweetener.
What’s your favorite thing to add into a smoothie??? I also like tossing in spinach and making “green juice,” as the boys call it!
