Smoothies, Smoothies, Smoothies!

Breakfast, as we all know, is the most important meal of the day. It is also the most disregarded meal of the day. I have a few short recipies that should take no more than 5 minutes of your morning to make a healthy breakfast. But this doesn't only have to be a breakfast subsitute, it can also just be something you make throughout the day- when you're not in the mood for water or juice.

The first one is called a banana fruit smoothie. All you need for about 2-4 servings is:

~1 banana peeled, cut into chunks (and frozen-optional)

~1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

~1 1/2 cups of orange juice

~a cup of ice

~2 scoops of original vanilla ice cream
Combine all of these indgredients and blend until it is smooth.

The next smoothie is called mixed berries and banana smoothie. For this one you'll need:
~1 cup of frozen mixed berries
~one froezen ripe banana
~1/2 cup of lowfat vanilla yogurt
~1/4 cup of orange juice
~1 teaspoon of honey
Put all these ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.

This next smoothie is specifically called : The Just Dew It Smoothie. You need:
~1 cup of honeydew chunks
~1 medium sized orange
~1/2 a medium peach, pitted
~1/2 cup of fresh pineapple chunks
~1 cup of ice cubes
This smoothie actially takes no more than 2 minutes, depening on how smooth you want your smoothie.

These smoothies all taste so great and are qiuck and easy! Have fun with them and be sure that there is parent consent to use the blender, if you are a child.
