Three Breakfast Smoothies
Photography by Manja Wachsmuth.
Whipping up smoothies is much quicker if you keep bags of free-flow frozen fruits in your freezer. I slice up several ripe bananas at a time and lay them in a single layer on plastic trays. When frozen, I lift them off and place in plastic bags. Do the same for mangoes and other fruits that you use on a regular basis. If the smoothies are too thick for your taste, add more milk or fruit juice to thin.
