Low fat, Low Sodium
New Year's Kiwifruit Smoothies
Yields: 5-6 cups
32 oz Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt
3 Kiwifruits
1 frozen Banana
1/3 cup Orange Juice
splash Lime Juice
sweeten to taste with sugar, agave nectar or honey
Optional: Cocoa powder. Believe it or not, chocolate tastes really good with Kiwi!
Putting it all together
Smoothies don't really need a specific recipe. This is a chance for you to be creative and use whatever ingredients and proportions you desire. Put everything in a blender and mix until combined. You can't really go wrong. We usually save and freeze ripe bananas in their peels for use in smoothies, baked goods or for the birds in the spring and summer. Catbirds love bananas!
