Making Smoothies, a simple spring snack

Making smoothies, a simple spring snack

By Avery Ponce

 

Smoothies are nutritious and delicious -- and cold. What better to drink on the hot days to come? You’ll need bananas, blueberries, milk or juice, ice cubes, and a blender.

1.  Freeze bananas and blueberries overnight in a plastic bag.

2.  Put two bananas, one cup of blueberries, and one cup of milk into a blender. You can substitute juice or soy milk for the milk if you prefer.

3.  Blend until the smoothie has the desired texture. If it’s too thick, blend in more milk. If it’s too bland, blend in more bananas or blueberries. If the smoothie is not cold enough, blend in a few ice cubes to cool it.
