Homemade Fruit Smoothies
Lately I have been doing my best to try
and get all my fruit and veggies in
during a days time. The veggies are
usually taken in during my lunch or
dinner but the fruit is another story.
So to make things easier I have been
making fruit smoothies for breakfast.
This is killing two birds with one stone
so to speak…..I am getting my fruit in
and I am eating healthier, cutting out
stops in to work at the local fast food place.
My smoothies are never the same cause
I just sort of tosh in the fruit I have
handy at the time or that I think
would work well together. No…I am
not your basic banana smoothie, or a
basic blueberry one……I do a lot of mixing.
Yesterday my day was off a bit with a
test I was going through so I did not
have breakfast instead I had my
smoothie for dinner. This is what
I threw in there this time…..
1 whole banana
A handful of blueberries that I had
put in the freezer
A handful of strawberries that
I also had in the freezer(I find
I don’t waste as much if I put things in the freezer)…
And to help with the thickness I add
two tablespoons of low fat yogurt
Also to help with the thickness I add two
tablespoons of frozen pineapple orange juice
About a ¼ of a mango

I have a delicious pumpkin smoothie recipe on my blog. I am a huge fan of pumpkin.
Guess what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow.
Looks like you are new to blogging! Welcome. I have been blogging for a little under six months, it is amazing how much you will learn and you will meet the nicest people on this earth!
I peeked at your spring post- so pretty.
Welcome, again!

Now if I can get my daughter to bring back my blender, I'll be all set.

I know my parents went on a big smoothie kick when they got their Magic Bullet. But I must say, I started using it more when they added ICE CREAM, LOL :)
Great recipe!
