Orange blueberry yogurt smoothie

The Orange Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or power up your afternoon. Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and protein, this smoothie combines the tangy zest of orange juice, the creamy texture of Greek yogurt, and the sweet flavors of blueberries and banana. Plus, the addition of flaxseed adds a nutritional boost that's hard to beat.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup orange juice
120g
1/2 cup lowfat greek yogurt
120g
1 cup frozen blueberries
160g
1 banana
100g
2 tbsp flaxseed
20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- If using a fresh banana, peel and slice it into smaller chunks to make blending easier.
2. Assemble Ingredients:
- Add 1/2 cup of orange juice (120g) to the blender.
- Add 1/2 cup of lowfat Greek yogurt (120g).
- Add 1 cup of frozen blueberries (160g).
- Add the sliced banana (100g).
- Finally, add 2 tablespoons of flaxseed (20g).
3. Blend:
- Securely place the lid on the blender.
- Blend on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the consistency is smooth. This will take about 1-2 minutes, depending on the power of your blender.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more orange juice and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Taste and Adjust:
- Taste your smoothie and make any adjustments if necessary. For example, you can add more orange juice for additional citrus flavor or more banana for added sweetness.
5. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or tumbler.
- Serve immediately while it’s cold and fresh.
6. Optional Garnish:
- You can garnish with a few extra blueberries or a slice of orange on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.

Tips:

- Use frozen blueberries to give the smoothie a thicker, more refreshing texture.

- If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a teaspoon of honey or a splash of vanilla extract.

- To make the smoothie even more protein-packed, consider adding a scoop of protein powder.

- For a thicker consistency, you can use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of low-fat.

- If the smoothie is too thick for your preference, just add a little more orange juice or water to achieve the desired consistency.

- Pre-soak the flaxseeds overnight in water or juice if you find their texture too gritty.

- Blend the ingredients in stages, starting with the liquids, to ensure a smooth blend.
