Fast Fruit Smoothies

I've already done a feature on fruit smoothies, but this one is bigger and better: more berries, more fruit, more flavor!

It's still super simple, healthy, and fast. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a snack when you're in a rush!

Read on for my updated, improved fruit smoothie!

Prep Time:  5 mins.                     Cook Time: 2 mins.                      Price: $

Recipe

1 orange
1 banana
1/2  C. frozen raspberries
1/2 C. frozen blackberries
1/2 C. frozen strawberries
Frozen blueberries (handful)
1/4 C. yogurt (or ice cream)
3/4 C. orange juice

Add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add more orange juice as needed (to thin). Add more yogurt--or ice cream-- to taste.

Tip: This smoothie makes enough for two. Share with a friend or save some for later!


Why: Fruit smoothies are simple, healthy, and fast. They're the perfect way to wake up in the morning or to tide you over until your next meal.

Mess-ups and Missteps: My only mistake was that I ended up needing to add more orange juice as I went along. More fruit means that this smoothie is a lot thicker, so the orange juice serves two purposes: it helps the smoothie actually be drinkable, and it also gives your blender's motor a break.

Enjoy!

KEEP ON COOKING!
