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

1 tablespoon of peanut butter for protein
A ¼ teaspoon of vanilla (I use pure vanilla

straight from Mexico)
And a couple of shakes of ground cinnamon

Blend this up in the blender and breakfast

is ready to serve.
This makes about 8oz’s. Cut it down

if you want a smaller glass full.
It was yummy. I have never added the

vanilla before but I have to say it really added to it.
So filling.

I have used Kiwi fruit, pineapple, cherries,

orange’s, I have even added grapes and cantaloupe.
Just a mix and match sort of blended goodness.
