Do you have a whole bunch of buttermilk in your refrigerator like I do? Up until recently, I've not really known what to do with it. Then I had the brilliant idea of using buttermilk instead of regular milk in the smoothies that I craved while pregnant. It worked perfectly and added a different taste with a creamier texture and a bunch of added protein. This is what I do:
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup frozen fruit (I usually use strawberries. They were on sale at Kroger for $1.50 last week, so I bought a bunch and flash froze them. That just means that I lined them up on a cookie sheet and froze them before putting them into a ziploc freezer bag. The same amount of store-bought frozen strawberries runs about $3).
2 T. sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or even just sugar works).
Blend it all together and voila! A yummy treat for a pregnant lady. Or any lady who has a major sweet tooth and is looking for a healthier way to satisfy it.
