Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
My kids love smoothies. It is a great way for them to get their fruit too. Basically you put fresh or canned fruit, frozen fruit, milk and/or juice in a blender or food processor and whirl away. You can add sugar or ice cream for a sweeter drink. You can make them thin or thick enough to substitute for ice cream. Sometimes I add protein powder for extra nutrition. I have listed a few recipes to get you started. There is no wrong way or right way, just do it your way! You can make Food Processor Smoothies in the blender, but they will need more liquid.
