Healthy Fruit Smoothies

Five to be exact.
As some of you know, I recently underwent some major jaw surgery, forcing me to be on a liquid diet for weeks. Once I even actually even felt like eating anything, I had to get creative! I made some soups prior to surgery and froze them so I would have something for lunch and dinner, but breakfast was a little more difficult. I am not a huge fan of shake type drinks like Boost or Ensure, but I still needed to get some protein and nutrients in the morning. My solution?
Smoothie Challenge!!!

I came up with 5 fruit smoothie recipes and thought I would I share. These all have the same base, Greek yogurt and cranberry juice (that's why they all have a pink tint), but the fruit combination are different. Have a good blender? {or magic bullet, or food processor} Give these a try!

Smoothie Challenge

Day 1 {Peach, Cran-Raspberry}

1/2 C frozen peaches
1/4 C frozen raspberries
1/4 C frozen cranberries
1/4 C Greek yogurt
1/4 C cranberry juice

Day 2 {Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry}

1/2 C fresh strawberries
1/4 C frozen blueberries
1/4 C frozen raspberries
1/4 C Greek yogurt
1/4 C cranberry juice
Few cubes of ice

Day 3 {Strawberry, Cran-Raspberry}

1/2 C frozen raspberries

1/4 C frozen strawberries

1/4 C frozen cranberries

1/4 C Greek yogurt
1/4 C cranberry juice

 Day 4 {Apples, Raspberries, Peaches}

1/2 C frozen chopped apples
1/4 C frozen raspberries
1/4 C frozen peaches
1/4 C Greek yogurt
1/4 C cranberry juice

 Day 5 {Strawberries, Blueberries, Peaches}

2/3 C frozen strawberries
1/3 C frozen blueberries
1/3 C frozen peaches
1/3 C Greek yogurt
1/3 C cranberry juice

For all of these recipes, just throw everything in a blender, pulse a few times, and turn it on high. You may want to add a little more juice if it keeps getting stuck, or ice if you blend it down a little too much. Fresh fruit would also be great!

As you can see, on the last one, I made it a little bigger, but for the most part, I tried to stick to the same measurement; 1 cup of fruit and a quarter cup of juice and yogurt. For the frozen apples and strawberries, I washed, cut and froze fresh ones from the store. The rest of the fruit, I bought already frozen. Make sure you get a good Greek yogurt that is low fat, has a lot of protein and is low in sugar. Also, I used "diet juice." because all the fruit already has a lot of sugar in it. 

I know it is getting a little cooler now, (and I can chew a little!), but I even had a smoothie this morning. I put a T of ground flax seed in there as well which gives the smoothie more of a richness. Let me know what you think of these recipes! :)
