Fruit Smoothie



Wow!  I wish I'd have thought of this sooner!  What a treat. I placed a couple of very small cans of peaches in the freezer for just over an hour to freeze.

Then I emptied the frozen peaches & juice into the blender, added a little bit of skim milk & (I confess) sugar - a teaspoon or so.  You could certainly use artificial sweetener of course.  And I added about 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla to the mix.

Blend and enjoy.  This made two glassfuls.  We used spoons.

I'm already thinking of different canned fruits (or combinations) and flavorings to use.  What sounds good to YOU?

    Make sure you use canned fruit in its own juice and NOT in syrup ( which are most ), or it will be for naught. Great idea.

    I never thought of doing it that way! I still have one qt. of frozen strawberries left from last season and maybe I'll make some smoothies for us tomorrow. I usually add a banana and ICE CREAM! But I'll trying using the skim milk instead. Adding vanilla sounds great...and I have some Stevia here in the house I'll use.

    We have recently been on a smoothy kick, too! I add yogurt(frozen) instead of the milk to apple juice and (frozen)fruit ~ YUM!

    This would be a refreshing and healthy option instead of an icecream or milkshake. Yum! Frozen berries are good in smoothies too. Banana makes them very sweet and creamy, you probably wouldn't need sugar.

    I would probably go with the plain old strawberry-banana type smoothie.......with a chocolate straw.
