Directions:
Strawberry-Kiwi Smoothies
4 servings 1/2 cup milk 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and patted dry 1 kiwi, peeled 2 teaspoons sugar (see Note) 1 quart vanilla ice cream In a blender, blend all the ingredients except the ice cream, until the fruit is puréed. Add the ice cream and blend until smooth and thick. Serve immediately. Note: Add more or less of the sugar depending on the sweetness of the strawberries. For a lighter version, use nonfat frozen yogurt and skim milk. Strawberry-Banana Smoothies 4 servings 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen sliced strawberries in syrup 2 (8-ounce) containers strawberry yogurt 1 ripe banana, peeled 1 cup milk In a blender, blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately. Note: For the taste of summer, you can’t beat a smoothie made with frozen peaches and peach yogurt, but almost any frozen fruit and yogurt can be made into your own special fruit smoothie. Orange Smoothies 4 to 5 servings 2 cups milk 1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups ice cubes In a blender, blend all the ingredients until well combined, thick, and frothy. Serve immediately. Note: Garnish with a slice of orange. These can also be made with ice cream instead of ice cubes for an orange smoothie shake. |
