Shakes and Smoothies

Summer is fast approaching. With all the berries and fruits available, this is the best time to create those tasty, nutritious shakes and smoothies.

The base of any smoothie for me are honey, milk, (any kind, even soy) banana, dates and some protein powder. You may substitue yogurt for milk. If using berries, it is best to add milk. Yogurt and tartness do not go well although we find them in grocery stores all the time. The reason being the yogurt that we buy is already tart and with the added fruits such as strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, etc. it makes it way acidic. Homemade yogurt is completely healthy and there is no tartness at all.
Here is my homemade yogurt recipe.
