Superfruit Smoothie

Submitted by Oenophilly

"My absolute favorite smoothie - banana, kiwi, mango, peach, and clementine! When fresh fruit is in season, I like to play around with different combinations, but this is the one that I make the most. Not only does it taste absolutely amazing, but it is loaded with natural nutrition too; Vitamins B & C, potassium, dietary fiber, omega-3 F.A.s, antioxidants, calcium...much more wholesome (and yummier!) than a vitamin pill in my opinion. And because of the fiber and protein, it is filling enough to be a hearty snack or a meal substitute. Before you get too excited, a quick word of warning about the kiwi - if you eat too much at once it can make your mouth feel tingly and raw (yes... I've had this happen. I can't help myself!) I hope you like this smoothie as much as I do! :)"

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 2 Smoothies
• Serves: 2-3

ingredients

• 6-7 ice cubes
• 113.39 g yellow cling peaches or 1 peach, peeled and diced
• 2 bananas, frozen, peeled, and sliced
• 1 kiwi, cut in half and peeled
• 1 mangoes, peeled and diced or 236.59 ml frozen mango
• 1 clementines (pick one that isn't acidic or sour) or 1 small orange, juiced (pick one that isn't acidic or sour)
• 118.29 ml nonfat plain yogurt (without artificial sweeteners)
• 2.46 ml pure vanilla extract

directions

1. Put ice cubes into blender and crush thoroughly.
2. Tips - I use my food processor for better results. Store bought ice will also crush better (smaller bits) since it is not as dense and has more cracks than homemade ice.
3. Drain out most of the liquid from the peaches and then add then to the blender (obviously leave in more of the syrup if you want it sweeter).
4. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until smooth and thoroughly mixed.
5. Add a small amount of honey, sugar, or vanilla extract if it is not sweet enough for you (especially if your fruit wasn't fully ripened).
6. Enjoy!
