Smoothie Boss

In my house anytime the blender comes on, my son assumes a smoothie is happening.  He loves smoothies at anytime of day made with just about anything he can find.  I like them too because they are healthy and I can throw in fruit that is starting to ripen too much.  I have also experimented with peanut butter,pumpkin, and cinnamon to come up with yummy new flavors.  My son is so fixated on smoothies that whenever he goes to my sister's house he demands to have her bananas.  When she asked him why, he informed her he needed them for his smoothie.  She asked me if I denied him bananas.  No!!!  I do not deny the little diva his bananas.  He must just be greedy when it comes to food.  Wonder where he got that from?  Maybe the mother who used to hoard chip bags from the vending machine at school in her closet (don't judge me, my dad always ate the good snacks).  He at least likes healthy food better than I do.  One night he said "Momma, cookies are a treat, not dinner".  Again, with the judgement!  So, instead of cookies for a meal, whip up one of my delicious smoothies!  They are healthy, filling, and great on the go!

Lil T's Favorite Fruit Smoothie
Makes 2 12 Ounce Smoothies

1        Cup        Fresh Pineapple, Cubed
1        Cup        Fresh Strawberries, Halved
1        Large      Banana Cut Into Four Chunks
1       Cup         Peach Mango Juice (or any juice blend you like, this is the princes favorite)
1       Cup         Vanilla Greek Yogurt

Put all your fruit in a ziploc and freeze for 1 hour.  Put all the frozen fruit and yogurt in the blender, pour the juice on top.  Make sure your lid is on tight and blend until all the fruit is smooth.  Pour into a glass and serve with a straw.  Yum!
