Fruit Smoothie

This "recipe" is fantastic; commit it to memory and then get creative. Here's the basic recipe:

2 c. juice (I like orange or cranberry best)
2 c. frozen fruit (I like strawberries or mangos)
1 banana

Put it in a blender and blend.

When you start getting experimental, you can replace the juice with juicy fruit like melons and start adding things like yogurt, and as weird as it may sound, you can add some veggies for extra nutrients (just don't go overboard or you'll regret it). A carrot or a little red cabbage won't change the flavor that much but can be a great way to get some more vegetables into your diet.

Smoothies are perfect this time of year. I have never thought of using cranberry juice as the base. Sounds terrific. I will have to try it!
