Man, it’s getting hot out there! So what’s the secret to a tasty treat that’s healthy and incredibly cool? A smoothie! No pool party is ever complete without this popular blended beverage.
Fruity Froyo Frenzy (5 to 10 minutes)
- 1 banana, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups frozen strawberries, or raspberries (10 to 12 berries)
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 cup lowfat frozen yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- ½ to 1 cup ice or more for a slushy style
Put all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth and desired thickness. Pour into frosted glasses and serve. Top off your glass with a frozen berry of your choice.
Cook’s note: For non-dairy smoothies, substitute the regular yogurt with soy yogurt.
Helpful Tip: Honey is a healthy way to naturally sweeten up your smoothies! You may have to add more or less depending on how big of a sweet tooth you have!
