Smoothies With Substance (and Style)
Andrew Scrivani for The New York Times
Smoothies are a delicious and easy way to boost your fruit and vegetable consumption. This week, Martha Rose Shulman offers five new ways to add extra nutrients to a smoothie by blending in nuts and grains.
Here are her suggestions for making a more substantial smoothie.
Oatmeal Spice Smoothie: Oatmeal is a great addition to a smoothie — it’s a thickener with lots of fiber and nutrients.
Kiwi Strawberry Smoothie: Ripe kiwis are high in vitamin C and a good source of potassium and magnesium.
Orange Date Shake: Dates add sweetness and nutrients to this easy-to-make smoothie.
Carrot and Sesame Date Shake: Here’s a smoothie so thick you can almost chew on it.
Banana Peanut Butter or Banana Almond Smoothie: This smoothie provides sustained nutrition for a long workout.
