Make Something Monday: Smoothie Recipes
Sunday, July 05, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
A couple of weeks ago, I received some smoothie mixes to review and we have become a smoothie making crazed family-lol. Seriously, these are the perfect Summertime snack or treat AND they are healthy {well the ones without a bunch of chocolate or sweets-lol-but you know what I mean}! Here are some recipes for a few of our faves--including a couple recipes made with the mixes we received:
Chocolate Smoothie
Chocolate Covered Banana Smoothie
To make these recipes, just combine all of the ingredients and blend!

You just HAD to include pictures, didn't you?! I would have been ok if I hadn't seen that chocolate one with whip cream on top... Now I'm off to see if I have the chocolate pudding mix to make it! lol
Thanks! =)

Mmmmm...yumma yumma! I love smoothies! My husband bought me one from a garage sale for a buck (yeah that's right a whole dollar LOL) and I borrowed a friends probiotic smoothie product...not bad. I knew since we already take our Vidazorb that I did not need to spend the extra money on that...so I began making mine with just a few fruits, ice and water or juice. It has been wonderful and healthy and cooling on a hot summer day! Thanks for these recipes. I bet I could adapt the peanut butter one to soy butter instead due to son's allergies. Thanks!
