I need to blog about my new-found love of yogurt smoothies!
I have never been a big fan of plain yogurt, unless it’s strained and made into a dip. To me, plain yogurt is like eating sour milk. However, I do love eating sweetened vanilla yogurt and fruit blend yogurt. I’m not sure why I don’t think of those as sweetened sour milk.
A few days ago, I was rummaging through my fridge for some breakfast food. I found a container with leftover peaches from the hazelnut peach cake my sister made, along with half a container of plain yogurt. I thought, “Maybe I’ll just eat the peaches with some yogurt.” It did not seem very appealing to be honest. My Magic Bullet popped in my head, though, and I quickly dumped the peaches and yogurt I had placed in a bowl into a Magic Bullet cup. I added a squeeze of honey and a drop of vanilla extract. My intention was to blend it enough so it would be the consistency of stirred fruit yogurt. What I got was a peach yogurt smoothie…and it was delicious!
Since then, I’ve been making yogurt smoothies each day for breakfast. Yesterday’s smoothie was made with a banana, plain 1% yogurt, honey and two drops of almond extract. That was, by far my favourite. Today’s smoothie was made with strawberries, a banana and, two drops of lemon extract. So very delicious, I loved the lemony flavour!
I’ve got a mango and a pineapple resting on my counter, waiting to ripe. Can’t wait to use those in a smoothie.
