I'm Smoothie and I know it...

SMOOTHIES!!! Ok so this "Title" of the blog was supposed to be funny but the more I read it its pretty lame... but it still made me laugh :)
So today I had the (if I do say so myself...) BRILLIANT idea for a quick yummy smoothie. I JUST had to share it :)
I am a huge fan of anything strawberry and banana so naturally I made a strawberry banana smoothie :)


Recipe:
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup filled with frozen strawberry and bananas
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon of honey
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
blend in the blender and pour into your favorite cup!
If you want... Add a scoop of your protein powder. 
It is quite delicious!!
These are the ingredients I used...



and of course.. Honey!

NOW is when the brilliance kicks in... (OK OK I cannot take ALLl the credit.. I did see this on pineterest... but that will be our little secret) I don't know about you but I do not have a lot of time. So to take the time to measure out everything then blend it then clean up... it can take up to a good 10-15 minutes. I don't have that kind of time during the day and in between classes. So I took the time (30 min!) to "pre package" everything! It saves so much time during the week when I want to make a healthy smoothie.

Here we go!
Take a muffin sheet and make sure it is clean.
Take your 1/4 measuring cup and fill the muffin pan with the yogurt and pop it in the freezer. 

I then took 1/2 a cup of strawberries and bananas and put it in a freezer ziplock baggie. I wanted for the yogurt to freeze. After about 2 hours I got the yogurt out and put them in the bags with the frozen fruit. Then BAM all you have to do is take out your ziplock bag filled with yogurt and frozen fruit and add 1/2 cup of milk and a teaspoon of honey into the blender and blend away! Add some protein powder if you would like. It only takes about 2 minutes!
It is yummy and fast! Perfect for busy students on the go!

This can work for any smoothie flavor (blueberry, mixed berry, etc) so please let me know if you have any other yummy smoothie recipes!

Enjoy! XOXO
