Smoothie time!

As my family knows, I love making smoothies. I told Scott the other day that I am going to open up a smoothie shop someday...lol. Actually I just want to come up with the smoothies, the running my own store thing would not go so well. But I actually am really talented at coming up with delicious flavors, lol.... but I guess it is not that hard. I try to make them every day, and Scott and I usually have them with dinner, they are great because you can get a few servings of fruit in them, and they taste so good. You can basically throw together any fruit, some juice, a little yogurt, ice, and BAM! Smoothie time. One of my favorites goes like this, and I never measure things so I am guessing for a lot of the ingredients.

1 Banana

1 cup strawberries (or pineapple)

1 cup blueberries

1/4 cup any flavor yogurt

1/2 cup vanilla soy milk (or regular milk)

1/4 cup pomergranate juice

1/2 cup orange juice

3 tbs sugar( I like things very sweet)

3 cups of ice (more or less depending on the consistency you like)

-if it turns out too thick, add 1/2 cup of water.

* I put in a few tsp. of orange benefiber, it adds flavor and fiber!-but if you put it only put in 1 tbs. of sugar, because it is very sweet.

...BLEND!!...

Something that is also great to do is if you have a juicer, you can juice apples, carrots, oranges, anything, and put that in too. And if you have watermelon, try it out in a smoothie sometime. Don't make it the main fruit, just add a cup in to whatever you are making, it makes it so creamy and yummy!

My recipies usually make enough for two big glasses and a little leftover. Sometimes I freeze the extra and eat it the next day, use it as a replacement for sorbet!!

Enjoy :)
