SUMMER SMOOTHIES

Summer is here and the weather is SIZZLIN'! Smoothies are a great way to stay cool and get your fruit servings! The smoothies on this post are delicious and nutritious. They can be made and stored in the refrigerator to be enjoyed later or most of the recipes make enough for two servings. They make a wonderful breakfast or afternoon snack. ENJOY!
BANANA: Blend 2 bananas, 1/2 c. each vanilla yogurt and milk, 2 tsp. honey, a pinch of cinnamon, and a cup of ice.
STRAWBERRY-BANANA: 1 banana, 1 c. strawberries, 1/2 c. each vanilla yogurt and milk, 2 tsp. honey, a pinch of cinnamon and a cup of ice.

BLUEBERRY-BANANA: Blend 1 banana, 1 c. blueberries, 1/2 c. unsweetened coconut milk, 1 tbsp. each honey and lime juice, 1/4 tsp. almond extract and 1 c. ice.
CREAMY PINEAPPLE: Blend  2 c. chopped pineapple, 1/2 c. cottage cheese, 1/4 c. milk, 2 tsp. honey, 1/4 tsp. vanilla, a pinch each of nutmeg and salt, and 2 c. ice. (I substitute 1 banana and 1/4 c. vanilla yogurt for the cottage cheese sometimes)
