So I was pretty happy my husband passed along his mom's quick smoothie recipe for a refreshing after-dinner treat. You can make it with ice cream, but I find it works just as well with plain yogurt (I never buy the pre-sweetened stuff because it's chock full of high fructose corn syrup and it's just as good if you take the plain stuff add a generous helping of maple syrup and your choice of fruit).
This smoothie literally takes about three minutes and could use almost any fruit. I read another great recipe to freeze these in Popsicle containers for smoothie frozen pops. Yum...
Strawberry-banana smoothie
- I cut up one banana, a half dozen good sized strawberries and throw those in the blender. I add about a cup and a half of yogurt and two TBS of maple syrup, which I swear does not make your yogurt take like maple syrup, just yummy sweet.
- Blend.
- Add about a handful of ice cubes.
- Blend until the cubes are crushed.

I make smoothies all the time, but I use the bags of frozen fruit with the unsweetened yogurt. I may need to make one tonight!
Another good recipe is a banana, some honey and milk. Supposedly cures hangovers. I added some chocolate to it yesterday. Yum!
