Power Yoga Smoothie - With Vegan Option
"Very tasty and full of nutrients! Great before or after a workout."
- Ready In:
- 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups no-sugar-added nonfat yogurt (or soy yogurt, if vegan)
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds (Can be found at the health food store)
- 1 1⁄2 cups no-sugar added frozen fruit (Can be purchased at most grocery stores, I like a berry mix, personally, but peaches, cherries, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
directions
- Add the first three ingredients and blend on low. You may need to add a tablespoon of water to get the right consistency if the yogurt is thick or if the fruit pieces are especially large.
- Stir with a spoon to ensure that there are no lumps. I also recommend tasting the smoothie to help estimate how much maple syrup you'll need.
- Add syrup, blend and serve. Smoothie may be kept refrigerated for several hours, but I recommend reblending it before serving. If you plan to make it ahead of time, you might want to omit the water.
- Enjoy!

Pescetarian, lovin' the hippie-eats, learned to cook authentic Japanese fare in Kyoto!
Okay, I figured I should add a bit to the above, so here goes:
I'm a on-air personality on a radio station in the city where I live. My girlfriend and I recently bought an art gallery and are in the midst of remodelling the lofts above it for a living space.
My girlfriend and I travel frequently - we just got back from a three week trip to Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil - and I love to pick up recipes as I go.
We've been vegetarian (although we eat fish) for about a year and a half and I absolutely love it. We eat tons of fresh veggies and fruit and pasta and grains and a moderate amount of fish...and I can't imagine ever craving meat in my diet again!
My family are a very meat-and-potatoes type of mid-western, so they are absolutely baffled by this. I think they must imagine what goes on their dinner-plates (Steak, a few pieces of broccoli, a baked potato) and wonder how we can survive on what's left after you remove the meat. Luckily, I'm a pretty good cook - no, make that a very daring cook! No fear! - and my girlfriend is kind of human garbage disposal. Seriously, she's never met an obscure ethnic dish she didn't like.
So, that's it for now.
