Strawberry and Nutella Smoothie

Today my class was canceled and I decided that I would spend the entire day in front of my television watching SVUesday (Law and Order: SVU marathon on USA every Tuesday).  While in front of the TV I thought of ways I can use my strawberries which were going bad when I came across a few smoothie ideas on pinterest. I decided to improvise with what I had around the house.

What you'll need:

• Strawberries
• Almond milk
• Nutella
• Ice

I used four large strawberries, (sorry the fifth strawberry in the photo is misleading. Also misleading is the Stella Rosa in the back, that is not needed.  Unless you find you need it, no judgment.) a cup of ice, two generous spoons full of Nutella, and about a cup of almond milk.  Just put it all in the blender and blend!

And enjoy with your lovely roommate!

Smoothie Recipe

Hello lovelies! I don't know about you guys but I am always searching for a snack in the middle of the day that won't make me feel guilty.  The perfect solution to this problem? A smoothie full of fruit and protein!  So here's a little recipe that I like to use for my mid-day snack!

What you'll need

• Blender (obviously)
• Three strawberries (I got mine from the local farmer's market! Yum!)
• About two big spoon fulls of vanilla yogurt
• one scoop vanilla Protein powder (I use Aria Protein. It's for woman's health and has protein, soy, calcium and folic acid.)
• About 1 Cup watermelon juice (I use Minute Maid)
• 2 Cups Ice

When I make my smoothie I usually don't measure things out completely. You really can't go wrong so if you want more strawberries or too add more fruit go for it! This is just what I usually have on hand.  Add your ice to the blender first.  Then cut up your strawberries and and add the rest of you ingredients into the blender.

Here is what your smoothie look like before..

And after it's all blended up it will be a pretty pink color...

Now enjoy!
