Strawberry Mango Smoothie
A while back I came across a nutritional analysis website where you enter in a recipes ingredients (food items & how much etc), but didn’t actually put it to use until this afternoon. I was just curious what my fruit smoothie really consisted of instead of just fruit, flax, and soy milk.
First here’s the recipe:
Strawberry-mango smoothie
Serves ~2 people (~10 oz each)
½ cup of frozen mango cubes
½ cup of frozen whole strawberries
1 small orange, including pulp and juice
½ cup of fresh orange juice
¾ cup of Silk Vanilla soymilk
1 T. of ground Flaxseed
And here are my findings:

XXX: good question. Usually Flaxseed is used as the substitution for items such as eggs, so that’s a good question. Hmmm, well honestly, if you don’t like/have flax seed, you can always omit it from the recipe. It won’t alter much, especially this recipe here. I only add it to get some omega-3s into my diet. I guess you could try crushed walnuts…as they are rich in omega-3s also. But, I’m not sure how that would turn out in this smoothie. Let me know if you try it out. It actually sounds like a good idea. haha. I hope I answered your question.
are there any possible substitutes for th flax seed?
