SUMMER TIME SMOOTHIES

I haven't posted on this board in a while. Partly because I don't know that anyone even reads it cause I rarely get comments and the other reason is because I have just been busy!! But I thought that since the weather here, in the St. Louis area, has warmed up dramatically I needed to post some things to drink to quench your summer thirst! So here are a few smoothie recipes that I've found but if you don't want to make your own you can always go to Panera Bread Co and get a Strawberry or Mango Smoothie. They even have a frozen Lemonade that is great! Well, enjoy and happy spring/summer.

Tropical Juice
1-1/2 c unsweetened pineapple juice
1 ripe banana
2 t honey
juice of 1/2 lime
garnish with sprigs of mint

Mix all ingredients together in a blender and you have a wonderful smooth juice to drink!!
4 servings

Iced Fruit Smoothie
1/2c strawberries
1/2c bananas
1/2c cantaloupe
1/2c honeydew melon
ice to taste
1c yogurt (any kind you like)

Chop up fruit into small bits. Mix strawberries, bananas, cantaloupe, and honeydew in blender for at least 1-2 minutes. Then blend in ice and serve.
4 servings

Breakfast Smoothie
1c strawberry yogurt, non-fat, no sugar
2c frozen strawberries
2 bananas
2c juicy juice, berry flavor

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. A very refreshing and simple drink for any time! Healthy too!!!
4 servings

Strawberry Smoothie
1c frozen strawberries
1 large banana
1c strawberry-banana yogurt

These are very simple and kids love them. Well some kids. I can actually get Kyle to try these and he likes them and that's a miracle!
