Frozen "Smoothie"
This breakfast recipe is based on one from my sister Melinda Coker's cookbook, Coco's Healthy Cooking. I've added a few ingredients to suit my preferences. I have this once or twice a week, more often in the summer. This recipe is for one serving.
1 cup soy or almond milk (I use Soy organic unsweetened)
1 Tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds
1 Tablespoon cocoa
1 cup power greens (or spinach or kale)
(If you blend these to start and then add the fruit in stages, the processing will go more smoothly.)
1/2 frozen banana (freeze peeled and cut in chunks)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries or mango or peaches
Process well, stirring occasionally until all of the fruit chunks are blended smooth.
Scrape into a bowl and top with:
2 Tablespoons lowfat granola
1 Tablespoon sliced almonds.
Enjoy!
