Anyone with kids in school is familiar with the first words out of their mouths following a gruelling :) day in class....."What is there to eat? I'm starving!" This is one of my favorite afterschool snacks (and let's face it, midnight snacks, midmorning snacks, etc.). Whenever I have fruit that needs to be eaten....I pop it in the freezer, then add it to a smoothie next time the mood hits! I don't feel like I'm throwing away perfectly good food and my kids get a little more fruit in their diets than they would otherwise (not to mention calcium).
Fruit Smoothies
1- 6 oz. container of yogurt (any fruit flavor) or 1 cup
1 packet of crystal light (for individual drink bottles) the orange is really good, so is the pink lemonade
4-6 ice cubes
1 cup strawberries (frozen or not)
1 banana (preferably frozen)
1 cup milk
1 cup water
Mix up in blender and enjoy. Can add more ice depending on thickness desired and whether or not fruit was frozen. I have also added other fruit (today it was honeydew melon!).
