It's summertime which means it's smoothie time! You can always make a fresh fruit smoothie as an easy cheap vegetarian or vegan recipe. Why? Because fruits are amazing for you! Fruits may reduce your risk of cancer and other chronic diseases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Plus, they contain many vital nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Sounds like a no-brainer to me.
Why make this easy cheap vegetarian recipe? It's simple. It's healthy, delicious, & nutritious. Best of all, my recipe is under 200 calories! Jamba Juice's Banana Berry Smoothie is 280 calories and Smoothie King's Banana Berry Treat is 364 calories. Look at my nutrition label down below. My fresh fruity smoothie contains over 25% of your daily fiber!
Ingredients:
1 small banana
1/2 cup strawberries
1/4 cup raspberries
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp orange juice
1 dash cinnamon
1/2 cup ice
*add an extra dash of water, almond milk or OJ if you find it too chunky/thick
Directions:
Simply add the items in the order listed. Blend. Feel free to add more liquid if it's too thick for you. I prefer a thick, creamy texture compared to a runny juice. But that's just me.
