1 1/2 Cup Ice Cubes
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. orange zest
6 oz. (one serving size) Plain Yogurt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Throw everything except chopped prunes into blender and blend til smooth. Sprinkle chopped prunes on top of frozen smoothie and grab a straw and a spoon and enjoy!
Note from Becky:
You could add oats and some flour and turn this into muffins for C2.
Oh my goodness....so looking forward to making one of these tomorrow! Yum!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I must have done something wrong because this did not turn out right. I couldn't figure out what 1/4 Stevia meant. Is it 1/4 cup? If so, that was my problem as I only used about 5 packets.
ReplyDeleteAhh yes, 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp) Stevia. Each packet contains 2 tsp I believe, so you used 10 tsp which is 3 1/3 Tbsp....so just a little bit more?
ReplyDeleteI love your recipes but I have problem with portioning. If its 1 serving then it must be very huge -almost 4 cups or is it 2 servings?

ReplyDeleteNope, not huge, but it will keep you satisfied -- 1 serving. When it's blended, the carrots and ice cubes reduce down to much less than the original measurement.
ReplyDeleteThe texture is a little off-putting as carrots cannot be fully blended but the flavour is lovely :)
