My guy and I got a blender for a wedding gift a couple weeks back. I didn't really think of it as the greatest gift in the world, it was just a kitchen appliance we didn't currently own that somehow found its way on to the registry. Who doesn't need a blender right? Well I took it out of the box the other day to try and blend together a smoothie to satisfy a sweet craving I was trying to placate. And OMG! I can honestly say that this is the first blender I've ever used that can successfully crush ice and its amazing! I love you Kitchen Ninja! So now I am knee deep in the world of healthy smoothies.
Today I made one (my own creation)with plain greek yogurt, blackberries, beets, and a banana. It was just good as anything from Jamba. So I decided to compare my smoothie v. the closest thing I could find from Jamba which is their banana berry smoothie
My Smoothie:
Cal: 240 Fat: 2g Fiber: 12g Sugar: 28g Protein: 10g
Jamba Banana Berry
Cal: 400 Fat: 2 Fiber:3g Sugar 57g Protein: 3g
Crazy, and it tasted just as good! I just had to share!
So now that I'm on my smoothie kick, does anyone have any good recipes?
