Tonight I made the easiest smoothie ever; I'm actually a little embarrassed to call it a recipe. There's only one ingredient -- or two if you're feeling a little crazy. Let's see how I made this amazingly good smoothie!
Honestly, all you need is a cantaloupe and maybe a half spoonful of sugar. If your blender is a little temperamental you might need a splash of water, but you should be fine without it. Oh, and you'll need a blender. I bought mine a couple of weeks ago and I'm so excited about it! It's a single serving blender and it works wonderfully. And can you believe it was only $15?! The brand of my blender is Hamilton Beach and it's pretty awesome!
All you need to do is cube up your cantaloupe (I used a whole one, but it wasn't all the way ripe, so I'm sure you could get away with using 1/2 to 3/4 of a cantaloupe) and blend it in your blender. Add a little sugar to taste if you're experiencing an insane sweet tooth like me! It sure was yummy! Let me know if you try it out, because it's delicious -- or at least I thought so. Next time I might try rimming the glass with sugar! Yum! How do you usually make smoothies? I'm all about simple smoothies and not a lot of work. Any tips from one blender owner to another?
Enjoy!
Love, Liz
My smoothies are simple. 1 cup of favorite fruit juice. 1 cup of frozen fruit. 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt. 1 1/2 cups baby leaf spinach. Blend and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I will have to buy myself some frozen fruit. Do you buy a mixed bag? I'm afraid to do so because Tyler is allergic to blueberries.

Sounds so simple and delicious! I think it would be perfect with almond milk because it would taste nice and creamy.
