Cool, creamy and delicious – this vitamin-packed smoothie not only tastes great but is full of protein and fiber to give you lasting energy.

Strawberry Sunrise Breakfast Smoothie - The Lemon BowlJune is National Dairy Month so to celebrate the occasion, my friends at American Dairy Association Mideast asked me to create a smoothie recipe. (Twist my arm.)

blueberrysmoothieAs you probably know by now, I am smoothie obsessed. I loved smoothies before I became a mother but once my son started eating yogurt at around 8 months he has been drinking smoothies almost daily. Smoothies are the ideal breakfast-in-a-glass packed with vitamins and nutrients to give you lasting energy.

RichmanFarmsCollage2Speaking of dairy, last year I had the unique opportunity to attend the Ohio Dairy Adventure where I got to see first hand how dairy goes from farm to plate. Every girl needs to milk a cow once in her life. It was my time. :)

AndreasFarmCollageDairy has always been an important part of my healthy lifestyle but now that I’m pregnant I pay even more attention to getting my 3-a-day servings.

Here are a few dairy facts you may not know:
  • Milk contains nine essential nutrients, making it one of the most nutrient-dense beverages you can enjoy. Milk is the single greatest source of three of the four nutrients the Dietary Guidelines identified as lacking in the American diet – calcium, vitamin D and potassium.
  • Experts recommend three servings of low fat or fat-free dairy foods every day, yet most of us need to add one daily serving of nutrient-rich dairy to help meet recommendations.
  • Studies show nutrient-rich dairy foods, when consumed as part of a healthy diet, may help to reduce the risk of diseases such as osteoporosis, hypertension, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
  • One milk group serving is equal to: an 8-ounce glass of milk; a 6- or 8-ounce container of yogurt; and 1½ ounces of natural cheese or 2 ounces of processed cheese.

 

Your straw is waiting.

    I followed everything like it called for and my smoothie was super thick and non drinkable. Does it matter if I’m using frozen fruit ? Should I not add ice on top of the frozen fruit I’m using? Thanks for any feedback

      Hi John – If you’re using frozen fruit you don’t need to add ice. You could always just add water to thin it out a bit too!

    Delish! I didn’t have the flaxseed, and I used honey Greek yogurt instead of vanilla. It was great and my 6 year old daughter loved it, too! Thanks.

    There is no way I am going to feed my family anything but organic dairy products. Love smoothies and your recipes, but I only make them with dairy that is certified steroid and antibiotic free. The dairy industry now wants to add aspartame in milk to make it taste better (sweeter – like we need more sweeteners in our foods) and not have to tell you about it! Bet they didn’t mention that in your visit to their farm.

    Between milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream, I think I am getting my “6 a day” of dairy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This bright, colorful, creamy smoothie is a glass full o’ goodness. I’ll take mine w/ two straws for twice the slurping :)
