Everyone loves a good smoothie, especially now that it is summer! While most people own blenders, they never use them and prefer to buy a smoothie at a store rather than make them. But smoothies are one of the easiest things that you can make! They only require a few ingredients, literally like three or four, that you most likely have in your kitchen. They don't require any preparation either; you just throw the ingredients into a blender and in less than a minute you have a delicious drink! And they're a great way to use that summer fruit that you keep buying! Here are twelve healthy and super-easy smoothies to enjoy this summer:
1. Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie
Okay, so when I saw this recipe I thought that it sounded weird and could not possibly taste good. So naturally, I decided to make it for myself and see how it was. And surprisingly, I really liked it. It was super easy to make, and I had all of the ingredients at home already. I did not, however, have enough raspberries to make the recipe, so I also put in strawberries to make up for this. And I think that the strawberries made it extra good! I will admit, however, that the smoothie was kind of sweet; if I made it again I would probably put in less berries so it would not be as sweet. Also, the peanut butter stuck a little in the blender and was a little clumpy, so I would microwave it a little before you put it in the blender to make it more of a liquid or use peanut butter syrup. This smoothie was delicious and I would definitely make it again!
Ingredients: One-fourth cup of milk, one-half of medium ripe banana, one tablespoon of creamy peanut butter, one cup of fresh or frozen raspberries, one-half cup of crushed ice.
Directions: Put all of the ingredients in a blender. (If raspberries are frozen, let them thaw before you put them into the blender to make it blend easier.) Blend on medium for twenty to thirty seconds, or until smooth.
