Fruit Smoothies

Recently we have been enjoying yummy fruit smoothies for supper. They are fast, refreshingly cool, usually fat free, tastes like a dessert, and you can have all the ingredients easily on-hand! What more could you ask for????

This is a picture of a smoothie I made for supper recently. The true color of the smoothie was much more pink than the photo shows, but I think the florescent light over my counter sort of washes out the true color. Anyway, I had some over ripe bananas already in my freezer--I just peel them and throw them in a freezer zip lock. Then when you want to use them, just break them into three chunks and toss into your blender. Then I had some frozen pineapple chunks and some frozen strawberries I added. You need some liquid--I used a little orange juice. You can use just water, or soy or rice milk or whatever you like! Our family of four downed this pitcher of smoothie for supper along with some toast. As my kids would say, "Slllllluuuuuuurrrrrrp! GONE!"
