Playing around with our new toy :) |
Last week my husband bought a new Vita-Mix blender and we've been experimenting with it, making smoothies and green drinks and stuff that I call glop :) We're trying not to use sugar, unhealthy fats or processed products in these experiments.
I've been researching the internet for recipes that sound both palatable and healthy. I found the following recipe on Pinterest and adapted it slightly. The texture is really smooth and it's pretty good, although if I were cheating, I'd add some powdered sugar to sweeten it a bit more.
Chocolate Frosty
1 ripe banana, cut into 5-6 pieces
1/2 ripe avocado, cut into pieces
1 T. unsweetened cocoa
1/4 c. milk or milk substitute
2 c. crushed ice
Put all ingredients into blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Enjoy!
Chocolate Frosty made with banana, avocado, unsweetened cocoa, milk, crushed ice. That's it! Healthy and tasty! |
Nice work! You guys inspired me to plan on eating more fruits and veggies this week. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Meghan! I was bad though and did add some powdered sugar after drinking about half of it :)
