Low Fat Antioxidant Strawberry Smoothie – Healthy Diet
Good morning Everyone,
Are you feeling Monday Blues? Well if yes, then let’s not feel so as this is the day to kick off the week with something new and something nutritious. This weekend I have tried a couple of healthy dishes. One amongst them is Low Fat Antioxidant Strawberry Smoothie; just when I say smoothie I feel its yummy taste.
These days you can easily get flavored yogurt; be it mango, strawberry or blueberry. But after doing a quick online search on these yogurts I have got an impression that they are unhealthy. They contain lots of preservatives and Trans- fat, which are difficult to digest. So to get a similar taste, in fact better taste than flavored yogurts I tried this low fat strawberry smoothie. This yummy drink has not failed to pamper my taste buds, and it’s indeed very healthy.
A look at Ingredient list:
1) A bowl of fresh-sweeten strawberries.
2) A bowl of low fat yogurt.
3) A spoon of organic honey or jaggery powder (gurh).

Let’s prepare the yummy smoothie:
– Thoroughly wash strawberries, remove the green leaves and chop them.
– Put chopped strawberries and curd in the grinder. Blend them till the mixture becomes frothy.
– If the curd or strawberries are sour then add 1 spoon of organic honey or jaggery powder and blend again.
– To beat the heat you can also top some crushed ice. I somehow prefer to have it without ice :-)
– Stir the blend and savor it slowly.
