Smoothies: an easy way to pack yourself full of fruit
Smoothies are great to help you serve up fruit. The best recipes are easy and very versatile. To thicken up the shake consider adding in a few scoops frozen yogurt, my favorite is vanilla so the fruit flavor is still the main flavor. If you are creating smoothies for kids, other great fruits to include are blueberries, peaches, apples, oranges, pineapple, apricot, cherries, and pear.
And if you are preparing this for grown ups branch out and try some exotic fruits like: passion fruit, lychee, starfruit, kumquat, acai, papaya, guava, and kiwifruit. And to turn this into a fun party drink, skip the milk and instead add ½ cup of tequila and ½ of water. You can use whatever alcohol suits your taste.
