Super Smoothie

I learned a few months ago when the girls were stricken with a stomach virus the importance of yogurt to help maintain proper bacteria levels in the stomach. This is a smoothie with a yogurt base, loaded with other "super foods". Healthy or sick, my girls can't get enough!

1 banana, frozen
1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. honey
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

1. Cut the frozen banana into 3 or 4 chunks & peel (I like to set it out for a few minutes; its easier if it has thawed a bit).
2. Place banana pieces, yogurt, walnuts, cinnamon & honey into blender.
3. Blend on high for 2 minutes, or until smooth.
4. Pour into glass and dust with ground nutmeg.

The Classic Smoothie

This is a never fail smoothie recipe that I use as is, or to build other smoothies off of. You can add anything from blueberries to yogurt to nuts to honey.... you get the picture. But this is the recipe that started it all.


1 cup orange juice
1 cup frozen strawberries (hulled)
1 banana

Pour the orange juice into the blender. Add the strawberries and banana. Blend until smooth.
