If you are like me and want to feed your kids a cool snack in the summer; a snack that doesn't consist of sugary popsicles and juice drinks; a snack that is quick and easy and doesn't require you to turn on your oven, because, let's face it, when the mercury in your thermostat reaches the ungodly temperature of 100 degrees, who wants their house to feel like, ironically, an oven.
Not me. No thank you.
So here is a quick (and by quick I mean less than 10 minutes), easy and relatively healthy recipe for you and your little ones to enjoy.
Oh, and just a little disclaimer here - you might find that the recipe is a bit vague. I generally like to cook with these two principles in mind:
Eyeball it, then taste it.
Oh, and occasionally this one:
Throw it out and try it again.
Fruit Smoothie
2 1/2 - 3 Cups frozen fruit (I use a mix of strawberries, pineapple, peaches and mango)
1/2 Cup milk
1 1/2 Cups yogurt - whatever is in your fridge should work - but please, for the love of everything that is full of fat and flavor and clings to your thighs, don't use non-fat yogurt!
1 - 2 Tbsp. white sugar
1 Cup crushed ice (you might want to add more, I usually do).
Throw all the ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth.
Now pour it into cups and drink up, or use a spoon, it doesn't matter to me.
It's super easy, super fast and super de-lish! (and yes, Adam, I know you will cringe at my use of this word, but that's why I do it).
