Easy Fruit Smoothie


Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sized peach; peeled and sliced
  • 1 frozen banana; peeled and sliced
  • 1 strawberry smoothie bar; removed from the stick (this can be substituted with sliced strawberries and a 1/2 cup fat-free or low fat yogurt)
  • 1 cup milk; I use unsweetened almond milk (thats what the nutrient value will reflect) but you can substitute whatever type milk you prefer
  • dash of Slpenda

Directions:

  1. Place banana and strawberry bar in to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Add peach, milk and a dash of Slenda. Blend again, until mixed well and smooth.
  3. Poor in to a glass and garnish with a straw. Viola!

You dont have to use a full cup of milk. The next time I make this, I think I will use 2/3 cup and a few ice cubes. It will change the nutritional value, just not by much. It was good the way it was, but the calories were up there, as they are in most smoothies. It was super yummy though and makes a GREAT snack. You could even add a little protein powder if you wanted.
