It’s summer!! 🙂 Nothing goes better with summer than smoothies…. well actually icecream goes better but smoothies are the next best thing! 😉
If they are made right, smoothies are not only tasty but also an extremely good way to get a couple servings of fruit in. This morning I came up with the perfect mix!! A pretty simple combination of strawberries, peaches, and bananas but I added a punch of flavor with pineapple concentrate. 🙂 Add a bit of organic cream top yogurt and a splash of vanilla for a deliciously creamy texture… almost taste like a milkshake! OK, so this recipe isn’t rocket science BUT it’s good! What’s your favorite smoothie combination?
Yields: 1 smoothie
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup frozen sliced strawberries
- 1/3 cup frozen chopped peaches
- 1/2 ripened banana
- 1/4 cup cream top yogurt(or regular plain yogurt)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp frozen pineapple concentrate (100% fruit juice)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions
- Place all ingredients in blender, starting with fruit and finishing with yogurt and milk. Blend until completely smooth!
- Pour into favorite cup, add a colorful straw and enjoy! 🙂

Love smoothies! This one looks delish! We like to make them and freeze in individual jars for afternoon snacks – easy to pack and they are the perfect consistence in 6-8 hours in a cooler.

That is a great idea!! I never would have thought of doing that.

Going to have to try this! Do you think it would be alright if you left the milk out, or does it add to the flavor? I’m not a huge milk person. 😛
Rachel
Definitely would be fine if you leave the milk out(I am not huge milk fan either but don’t even notice it in the smoothie!) You probably would want to substitute it out for another liquid like Orange juice or water. I have tried both and either one does the trick! 🙂
RuthAnne
Awesome. Definitely going to try this when I return from camp next week! Looks like my kind of smoothie. 🙂
