EGGNOG SMOOTHIE
I LOVE THIS. Okay, I thought this up a few nights ago when I wanted a banana smoothie but didn't have any milk in the fridge. I used regular (not low fat) egg nog from the store since it's what I had, but I'm sure the light kind would be just as good. I know fruit smoothies are usually a little healthier than this, but I think its perfect for brunch during the holidays! (Tip: Peel and break the bananas up before freezing them) Also, the store bought variety of egg nog keeps you from having to spice it yourself.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products will make your smoothie taste better and be more nutritious.
- Use frozen fruit for a thicker, creamier smoothie: Frozen fruit helps to thicken the smoothie and make it more like a milkshake. You can also use fresh fruit, but you may need to add more ice or yogurt to achieve the same consistency.
- Add a variety of fruits and vegetables to your smoothie: This will give your smoothie a more complex flavor and nutrient profile. Some good options include berries, bananas, mangoes, spinach, kale, and carrots.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: You can add spices, herbs, and other flavorings to your smoothie to create a unique and delicious drink. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, honey, and peanut butter.
- Use unsweetened dairy or plant-based milk in your smoothie: This will help to keep your smoothie healthy and avoid added sugar.
- Add a scoop of protein powder to your smoothie for an extra boost of protein: This is a great way to make your smoothie more filling and satisfying.
- Serve your smoothie immediately after blending: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store your smoothie, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Smoothies are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or refuel after a workout. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
