Fun Food Friday *Smoothies*

It's now Saturday evening and I am writing Friday's post. Do you see a pattern here? ...story of my life!

Now that it is already really hot here in Arizona, I have started making one of my family's favorite snacks. Smoothies! This is the time of year when my blender doesn't get put away, it just sits on the counter to make our refreshing (and healthy) goodies.


Fruit Smoothies

• 1 to 2 cups low fat vanilla yogurt
• 2 cups frozen fruit (or fresh, just add some ice to help thicken smoothie)
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbs. sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Blend and serve. I usually use any left overs to make popsicles that my kids absolutely love. Play around with the ingredients to fit your tastes. I am trying to think of a good way to add some veggies to these so that they can be even more healthy for us. Of course I sometimes use ice cream instead of the yogurt when I am craving sweets. It's all about balance, right?

Enjoy!
