Maybe I overshare recipes- ha! But anyways, we are sure drinking a lot of smoothies... for breakfast, for an afterschool snack... for dessert! A lot of green smoothies... and a lot of just yummy fruit ones too like the ones I wanted to share today! The one pictured above is just a watermelon smoothie- if you have leftover watermelon this is sooo easy and yummy. Throw in the watermelon, frozen strawberries and blend! YUM! You can add sugar or sugar substitute if it's not sweet enough for you... squeeze in lime if you like your smoothie to have a kick... or add pineapple too if you like it to taste tropical! Easy and refreshing...
Then another favorite lately is a Jamba Juice recipe from our sweet neighbor Carole! She found out Mia had pneumonia and a sinus infection... upper respiratory virus... allergy induced asthma... etc! and immediately brought a huge pitcher of smoothie over for all of us! We were having "breakfast" for dinner so the smoothies fit in perfectly. When people are so kind and do something that makes the kiddos feel so loved... so out of the ordinary... it is so touching. Very sweet of her... and now a favorite smoothie recipe! It's below... Happy smoothie making! We'd love your favorite recipe if you care to share! ;-)
Basic Jamba Juice Recipe
8 oz Juice (the frozen concentrate made with 1/2 the water)
2 scoops sherbet (you can also use frozen vanilla yogurt)
2 scoops frozen strawberries
1 scoop frozen blueberries
2 scoops crushed ice
Blend until desired consistency
The scoops are standard ice cream scoops. You can use your favorite juice, sherbet & frozen fruits. It's really fun to get creative with this recipe based on what you and your kiddos like!
The one Carole brought us that was amazing was with orange/mango juice, mango sherbet, with frozen mango pieces, strawberries & blueberries.
