Yummy Fruit Smoothies


My kids love smoothies, especially when it's hot outside.  These are great for a snack.  Add a bit of organic vanilla ice cream and you've also got a rich, delicious dessert. 

Ingredients (you can easily find organic versions of all of these ingredients):

2 cups frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, peaches, whatever you enjoy)
5 ice cubes
1 cup vanilla lowfat yogurt
1 large banana
1 cup juice (cranberry, orange or apple are best)

Blend in a food processor until smooth.  Enjoy!

Tip: you can enhance the nutritional/health content by "pureeing/hiding" any of the following in this: baby spinach, ground flaxseed (easiest if you're including something seedy like raspberries or strawberries), cooked sweet potato or powdered probiotics.
