Fruit Smoothie
Strawberries are in season again. Well, they never are out of season only at this time they are redder and sweeter. I got me a pack from the grocery last Friday and forgot about them when I came home. :D I planned to make something of a cake base with gelatine and strawberries on top but was too lazy that I ended up with this Smoothie.
Trouble was, I can't find a part of our blender when I was preparing so I had to improvise. ;) I don't have yoghurt so i scratched it off. I put an overriped banana in the fridge and used it as 'replacement' for ice cubes. I used a regular mixer and thank goodness the contents didn't get wild: thrown all-over the kitchen.
So voila! I therefore conclude that from strawberries and a frozen banana and some milk, you can make your own healthy smoothie in a few minutes. Remember smoothies are a great source of fiber and vitamin C and is a good antioxidant as well...
For a basic (and real) smoothie, use -
# 1/2 to 1 cup fruit
# 1 cup plain or fruit yogurt
# 1/2 cup fruit juice
# about 4 ice cubes
# 1/2 to 1 cup fruit
# 1 cup plain or fruit yogurt
# 1/2 cup fruit juice
# about 4 ice cubes
Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Process on high until the ice is completely crushed and the drink is smooth and creamy.

Sweet. That is delicious.
Banana & Strawberry is also our favorite Smoothie flavor, hubs love to do it from scratch :)
I hope you saved some for me!
I've actually never hear of using frozen bananas before. By us the bananas often go over ripe. Be sure I will freeze them and squeeze them.
Thank you for this good idea.
I love strawberries whether fresh, flavored in ice-cream, cake, puree, or shake.

That looks so DELICIOUS! My mouth is watering.
In response to your question if the turkeys in my yard were noisy - only the male gobbles during mating season. We hear them off in the woods sometimes but in the yard I don't know they are there until I see them.
Thanks for your visit.
