Fruit Smoothies

Yesterday I had 11 girls in the kitchen and we made fruit smoothies. I always keep yogurt sticks and fruit in the freezer for quick and easy smoothies, then you do not need ice. I gave each girl a yogurt to open and put into the blender. When everything was placed in the blender, I turned the blender on and watched the expressions on their faces, pure delight and anticipation to taste the yummy smoothie. The younger girls always put their hands over their ears because of the sound of the blender. A beautiful sight with wonderful girls, big smiles, and a very tasty, healthy snack!

FRUIT SMOOTHIES
Serves 6 full cups/12 small cups

- 10-12 frozen yogurt sticks
- 2 cups frozen fruit (we used strawberries with juice)
- 1 to 2 cups orange juice (can use other jucies)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or more to taste)

Place yogurt and fruit into large blender. Add 1 cup of orange juice and the honey. Start the blender. Blend for a few minutes. Stop the blender and push the fruit and yogurt down into the juice. Add more orange juice as needed to make the smoothie blend. This makes a thick smoothie. You can add more juice to make a thinner smoothie. Enjoy!
If I have protein powder, I add a couple of scoops into the blender. My girls ask, "What is the powder?" I tell them it's vanilla flavoring...:-)....they say, "Oh!"...Yum!
