Easy Smoothies

Easy Smoothies

I love smoothies!  They are fast, easy, and delicious.  And, depending on what you add, they are definitely gluten free.  You can pretty much put anything in a blender and drink it.  I love it!  Here is my basic recipe.

1 1/2 cups milk
1 scoop vanilla ice cream or about 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, mixed fruit--whatever)
1 banana

Blend in a blender until desired consistency.  You may need to add more or less milk depending on how thick you want it.

If you want some crunch, you can add a few ice cubes and blend them up too.

**If you want your smoothie a little sweeter, you can add a little sugar to the mix and blend until it is combined.

Remember, you can do anything you want.  For variations on this try fruit juice instead of milk.  Try fresh fruits--if I did this, I would definitely add the ice cubes.  Smoothies need to be cold!
