Strawberry + Peach Smoothie

My Magic Bullet broke in the middle of this, so I had to dig out my mother-in-law's old blender to finish it.

Strawberry + Peach Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 & ¼ cup Almond milk
• ½ cup vanilla yogurt
• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 cup frozen peaches

Directions

Add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend well. Enjoy!

It was still a little more solid than I wanted, so I might up the milk to 1 & ½ cups.

Pineapple + Banana + Cashew Butter Smoothie

This was a variation of a Martha Stewart smoothie recipe that I found here.

Pineapple + Banana + Cashew Butter Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1 cup diced pineapple*
• ½ cup cashew butter
• ½ cup vanilla yogurt
• 1 tbs honey

*I used 1 8oz can of diced pineapple and drained the juice.

Directions

Cut up bananas. Add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend well. Enjoy!

The original recipe called for ½ cup of ice, but since I haven't perfected the art of crushing the ice, I omitted it. The smoothie came out really thick, so I might have to find something to thin it out, just a bit.  Maybe I'll leave the pineapple juice in.

Strawberry + Banana + Orange Juice Smoothie

I was trying for an Orange Julius type drink today.

Strawberry + Banana + Orange Juice Smoothie

Ingredients

Directions

Cut up fruit. Add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend well. Enjoy!

Pear + Kale Smoothie

Today's smoothie is the first time I have ever tried kale. It didn't turn out all that bad.

Ingredients

• 2 pears*
• 4 tbs vanilla yogurt

*or thereabouts. I used canned pears and it might have been 4.

**Ted couldn't find whole kale at the store so he bought some that was already cut up.

Directions

Add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend well. Enjoy!

Banana + Peanut Butter Smoothie

I've been wanting to try making smoothies for awhile now. This past weekend, Ted and I went to Costco, where I bought a Magic Bullet. I made my first smoothie today.

Banana + Peanut Butter Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• ¼ cup peanut butter
• 1 cup almond milk
• 2 tbs honey

Directions

Cut up bananas. Add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend well. Enjoy!

This being my very first try, I wasn't sure how it would turn out. I LOVED it! I'll post more recipes here as I try them.
