Strawberry, Banana, mint and Flax Seed Smoothie
These are the famous healthy smoothies I make almost every night. It is hard sometimes to get fruits everyday so this is a simple way to incorporate this food group. My kid loves them as you can make different versions, he calls them ICES. You can also freeze these using ice Popsicles molds for a later use, they work wonderfully and are much more nutritious.
This smoothie version contains bananas and strawberries although we use raspberries and other fruits quite often. The berry fruits we use are organic though as these fruits are more aggravated by pesticides than other fruits would. To sweetened we normally use maple syrup but today I did not have any on hand so we used sugar :-(. In any event still good. If you try to make these the sky is the limit, any combination sure it is going to be good.

A hand blender is a basic little kitchen apparatus which is a basic piece of it and makes cooking simple. They not just mix the fixings, there are blenders which help to slash and dice the veggies. Consider blending and dicing the ingredients all alone. A tiring undertaking, right! Blenders do these blending and other tiring tasks for you in minutes and mix the stuff easily. With affordable hand blenders available, you can make anything, from a milkshake to sound smoothies, you can depend on these blenders.
