I get a lot of questions about my smoothie recipe, and frankly I typically throw in whatever frozen fruit we have and call it good! But here it is in more detail for those of you who are wondering…

Ingredients:

• 1 banana (frozen is better, but you can use one at room temp.)
• 2 cups frozen strawberries (Again, room temp is okay)
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (We prefer frozen yogurt)
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• Optional: Ice, if you have not used frozen fruits, stick a handful of ice in there to help blend it together.
• Optional: 2-3 tablespoons honey to taste (The plain fruit can be a bit sour, but the orange juice helps with this, so try it before adding any sweetener)

Directions:

Add all ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth! Pour into glasses and serve!

This usually serves my 4 kiddos and me, but they all get half glasses. If I need a little more, I’ll just add in some more milk or juice. It makes the smoothie a bit runny, but no one seems to mind and it’s cheaper that way!

Note: Really you can use any type of fruit you prefer! Some of our favorites alternatives to above:

• Mango, peach, & banana.
• Raspberry, Blueberry, and Strawberry
