Easy Fruit Smoothie

So along with working out I am trying to eat more healthy. I have decided to start adding a few recipe/snack ideas to my blog. First up is a easy healthy fruit smoothie! This smoothie includes your fruit and dairy serving as well as the awesome benefits of flax seed which is a source of Omega-3 fatty acids and fibre.

Ingredients needed:

1) Frozen Berries

2) Fat Free Yogurt

3) Ground Flax Seed

4) Orange Juice

Get your blender out and ready and add your first ingredient which is the frozen berries. I use frozen berries because it eliminates the need to add ice and it is readily available so you just add as much or as little as you want! No prep or cutting needed.

Next add the fat free yogurt. I use the individual cups of yogurt. They come in many different flavors so use your favourite kind!

After the yogurt I add 2 Tbsp of the ground flax seed. This ingredient doesn't change the taste or texture of the smoothie and it adds omega-3 fatty acids and fibre to your smoothie. (I also add ground flax seed to other meals I prepare like in chili)

Now it is time to add the orange juice. You can add as much or as little OJ as needed. It all depends how you want the consistency of your smoothie to be. You can add a little for a thicker smoother or a lot for a thinner smoothie. I add the OJ till it covers all the ingredients.









Now blend all the ingredients together! Time depends on the type and speed of your blender.

Now enjoy your smoothie! You can customise this to your own taste by changing up the type of frozen berries you use and the flavour of yogurt.

Yum!
