Fruit Smoothies are a great way to increase your fruit intake, helps your “sweet tooth”, and contributes many vitamins and minerals to our diet.

Simply mix and add until it turns out the right consistency.  If you have trouble blending, just add more juice.

Tip:  If your bananas get too ripe,  peel and slice them and store in the freezer.  They may get a little brown but they’ll still be fine to use in your smoothie.  *Best if used within two months of putting into freezer.*

Recipe:

• Juice of your choice (100% juice is preferred)
• Frozen fruit of your choice such as:  frozen bananas, and assortment of other frozen fruits such as peaches, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc.
• Splenda or Stevia to taste

• Blend together until smooth!! 

* You can add yogurt if you want a different taste.  A light yogurt will give the least carbohydrate.  (Try vanilla yogurt or fruited flavors.) *
