Breakfast Smoothie

January 30th, 2006

Oh boy, I think I bought too much fruit at the grocery last week.

I already had clementines, apples, and bananas in my fruit bowl.

One market had strawberries, fresh pineapple, apples, mangoes, and melon on sale, so I took advantage of that.

A few days later I purchased some more apples, bananas, and kiwi.

I can’t even put it all away, so this morning I made a big breakfast smoothie for my hungry kids….

Breakfast Smoothie
serves 3 / prep. time: 5 minutes

2 kiwis, peeled and cut in half
1 banana, peeled and cut in half
1 c. chopped pinapple
3/4 c. plain or vanilla yogurt
1/2 c. milk
1 t. vanilla

Blend it all up in the blender until smooth. No, I don’t have a juicer, or a Mr. Smoothie-maker, or anything fancy like that. Just a blender. It works great and is easy to clean and put away. When I’m not in the mood, the kids can use it themselves.

Stay tuned… this week I’ll be making a Sicilian Meat Roll (for meatloaf-haters and lovers) and I’ll explain why some kids are pickier eaters than others.
