summer delights

Smoothies are a nice thing to have at hand, and I keep thinking my kids will like them, but no such luck. They even think so, ’cause they ask for them, but then never drink them.

How easy are they to make? This easy:


  • 1 cup yogurt (or one container, any flavor you like)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup frozen berries (strawberries and blueberries work better than seedy berries like black- or raspberries).
  • options include a couple tablespoons wheat germ and/or honey (I find this needs a little sweetening).

Blend the ingredients in your machine of choice, Cuisinart or blender, until smooth. Enjoy.
