In warm weather, sometimes all I want after a workout is a filling shake. For years I shunned green shakes, probably because the first few I had were bitter. But if there is fruit alongside the greens, it's quite tasty and nutritious.
In an effort to decrease the waste of produce from my fridge, I do a stir fry or slow cooker or veggie roast now and then just to use up odds and ends.
Today I tried to do the same with a shake. This is just meant to be a rough guide. Throw in anything you'd like and experiment!
Here's what I tossed in today:
1/2 avocado
large handful of spinach and arugula mix
1 banana
1 cup or so of frozen mango
~ 3/4 cup almond milk
5 oz vanilla soy yogurt.
Blend it up and you're good to go. To decrease the sugar content, use plain yogurt, or add ice cubes. If you use plain yogurt but want to sweeten it a little, you can add a swirl of honey.
