Simple Smoothie Tips

I wanted to comment on "smoothies". They are so nutritious and fun to make. In a blender, I use oranges, apples, pineapple, bananas and blueberries or strawberries and blend them together.

One additional suggestion: Throw in some carrots, or celery or some other veggies and blend in with the fruits. It doesn't change the taste, just the color and children get their fruits and vegetables all at once. St. Patrick's Day is ideal for green smoothies. Just add celery, spinach or cabbage.

~Thanks Terry, smoothies are also great for kids to make if they are younger they can easily add the ingredients to the blender and turn on the button with an adult supervising.
