Smoothies: ** One tip I have found very helpful is to unpeel all my ripe bananas and place them in a Ziplocs freezer bag. Then you always have them ready; even breaking a half off is easy when frozen to use in a smoothie. Smoothies are easy to make—you need a blender or a Magic Bullet (my favorite). There are many recipes online— 1 cup frozen strawberries ½ cup frozen blueberries ½ frozen banana 1 cup milk, soy milk, kefir, any flavor yogurt Ice cubes if desired *for a non milk based smoothie- substitute orange juice for the milk *1 cup whey protein powder is optional too for an extra boost of protein The Ng family favorite for between sports is: (or for a filling in between meal snack) 1 cup skim milk ½ frozen banana 1 scoop Whey vanilla flavored protein 1 Tablespoon natural peanut butter Ice cubes if desired for added thickness Blend until the desired consistency. Enjoy!
