How to Make Fruit Smoothie
Everyone loves a good raspberry smoothie. Not only are they yummy, but they're fun to make as well! The ingredients are inexpensive and easy to get hold of. They don't take a lot of time or a lot of washing either! Smoothies are healthy and nutritious and full of vitamins. You should eat at least two fruits per day to get all your vitamins, and if you're drinking a smoothie then it's not necessary for you to take vitamin pills to get them. Smoothies are yummy and they can be almost as filling as a whole meal if you have a lot of fruit in it. If you are trying to lose weight and you are being pressured into eating, have a smoothie. You're basically eating fruit, milk and yoghurt at the same time.
The first step is gathering all the ingredients. The ingredients are not hard to find, just look in your fridge or in your local supermarket. First you will need to pick the freshest raspberries available. They should be pinkish red and they shouldn't be soft, because then they're not fresh. You could also mix it up with other berries. For example if you want a thick filling smoothie you should put bananas or apples in your smoothie. However if you just want a smoothie to go with your dinner or breakfast, you can put oranges, pineapple or dragon fruit in it. Those fruits will make it more like a drink. You will need 250 grams of these raspberries. Next ingredient needed is 150mL of skimmed milk. If you use full creamed in the blender it will get thicker. The last thing you need is 250mL of plain yoghurt. If you don't have plain yogurt you could use vanilla yogurt or strawberry yogurt, since it has fruit in it too. You will also need about 8 ice cubes but you probably already have them at home. You can freeze your raspberries before hand; this keeps them fresh and makes the smoothie thicker. Before starting you should always wash your raspberries...
