FRUIT SMOOTHIE
From Lora Troyer
Mix in a blender:
6-8 strawberries (or blueberries, pineapple, peaches, raspberries)
1 banana
1 carton of yogurt, any flavor
1/3-1/2 cup orange juice
5-6 ice cubes if using all fresh fruit rather than frozen
Optional: 1 tsp.- 1 tbs. flax seed (you
can't tell it's in there and it adds nutritional value)
Blend until smoothie consistency, then pour into a glass and enjoy!
A few tips:
A smoothie is best if some or all the fruit is frozen. It makes a thick, icy consistency.
Freeze ripe fruit before it goes bad to save for making a smoothie later.
Freeze leftover smoothie drink mixture in popsicle molds to enjoy another time.
To release smoothie from popsicle mold, hold it under warm water for a few seconds.
