How To....

...Make a good smoothie. I am having a smoothie at this very moment and I remembered that I had promised Shawna that I would blog about how to make one. Here is a very simple way to make a fantastic smoothie:

*Start by buying a bag of frozen mixed fruit from the grocery store. I prefer bags that contain pineapple, mango, and strawberries.
*Get out your blender
*Put in Mixed fruit (not defrosted), 100% Orange Juice (Pre-made works well, but if you make it from the can I think that would work just as nicely), and one 8 oz. yogurt (any flavor works, try different ones to see what you like best). Portion sizes depend on how much smoothie you want and how thick you want it. You can play around with that too. Usually we just stick with one yogurt though and it is plenty.
*Blend away. We don't use any ice since the frozen fruit serves the same purpose.
*Sometimes we will add a banana if they are on hand.

And WAH-LAH! (How do you spell that?) You have a deliciously easy (and healthy) treat!
