If you are from Canada, you must have been to a Booster Juice at least once. Sometimes when I am on the go and need a quick filler and boost, I love grabbing a smoothie from Booster Juice. I know, some might argue it isn’t actually all that healthy considering the sugar level, but it definitely beats anything at a Tim’s or McD’s. In order to make it healthier, I decided to make this at home with ingredients I’m comfortable with. Better to know exactly what goes into your drink, am I right? Anyways, I hope this recipe tickles your taste buds like it does mine. I did make some tweaks to the recipe like omitting ice – as it is currently winter in Canada and I’m not about that life right now. Enjoy!
- 1 cup pineapples canned in water
- 1 cup frozen mangos
- 1 banana ripe for added sweetness
- 1/2 red apple optional
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt low-fat
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp flax seeds ground if available
- 1 cup crushed ice optional
- Add all ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth. Pour in your favourite glass and indulge! 🙂
If you want it to be easy on the brain freeze, replace the ice with 1/2 cup cold water.
