Raspberry & Strawberry Smoothie

April 7, 2014 /

Today I thought I would share a smoothie that has been my go-to for the last year or so. I’ve been meaning to share it for a long time and since I’m trying to work on my food photography skills I thought this would be a great “recipe” to do!

I love making this smoothie on days that I work (I work very part time, usually one or two days a week, as a substitute teacher) and it usually lasts me until the kids go out for the first recess and helps me not feel starved all morning (since when I’m at home I can, and do, snack all day long).

For this recipe I use frozen raspberries and strawberries since it’s cheaper than buying them fresh (and not always possible to find them here in the winter). The spinach I buy fresh but after a couple days I put it in a bag in the freezer and just pull it out as needed for the smoothies.

I never actually measure when I make my smoothie so the proportions change a bit each time I make it, but here is the general ingredient list.

RASPBERRY & STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE

  • 1/2 cup liquid (I usually do a mix of apple juice and water)
  • 1 tbsp flax seed
  • 1/3 cup yogurt (whatever kind I have on hand, usually vanilla, strawberry or raspberry)
  • handful of spinach
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1 1/2 cup strawberries (my blender isn’t too great so I actually microwave these for about 20 seconds first)

Place ingredients in blender in the order listed.
Then just blend it together!

Raeca loves these smoothies and I love knowing I’m getting some greens into her since she’s not a fan of them in their natural form.
