The U.S. Department of Agriculture has released a video to demonstrate how people can make a smoothie using fresh fruit and yogurt.
“Today, I’m going to show you some quick ideas for healthy breakfasts or snacks using low-fat yogurt and a variety of fruit,” Chef Amy said in the video.
She starts by adding papaya chunks into a blender, but notes that the fruit you use is only limited by your imagination.
“You could also use fresh or frozen no-sugar added strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or whatever else is in season in your local farmers’ market, instead of or in addition to the papaya,” she said.
“Next, I’m going to add two very ripe bananas, and a cup of plain, low-fat yogurt and a cup of ice,” she added.
“You can enjoy it right away,” Chef Amy said when the delicious smoothie was done.
USDA offers a constant stream of advice on what to eat and how to eat it. Last year, for example, USDA wrote an entire blog post about how to make healthy s’mores with strawberries instead of chocolate.
And in late 2014, USDA sent around an email warning people not to eat raw cookie dough.
