blueberry mango smoothie

Blueberry Mango Smoothies!

First one I tried goes like this:

1 cup frozen blueberries

1 cup mango chunks

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used Trader Joes Organic low fat plain yogurt because I had a container I needed to use ASAP)

¼ cup vanilla soy milk, almond milk, skim milk, or water (I used almond milk)

Place it all in a blender and blend!

My thoughts on my first smoothie

I liked it!

I am curious if it would taste much different with Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt. I had a good balance of mango and blueberry flavors.

Now for my second Blueberry Mango Smoothie

1 cup vanilla flavored soy milk or regular milk (I used vanilla almond milk)

1 ¼ cups reduced-fat vanilla yogurt (I used greek yogurt)

1 cup frozen mango chunks

1 cup frozen blueberries

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

So I have been reading a lot lately about fiber!

Fiber is found in plant based foods like fruits vegetables and grains. Fiber is wanted in a diet because it well helps you be regular in your bathroom visits if you know what I mean :) and it helps your body retain water which fools your body into thinking its full, therefore eating less.

So I made the smoothie above and added 1 teaspoon of flaxseed and 1 teaspoon of chia seed.

Again it tastes GREAT!

you can taste the seed flavor in it but it is not necessarily a bad taste (and smell it). So maybe if you end up not liking that taste or smell put less then i did!
