Today in Detroit Metro area it is smokin’ hot! 91 degrees.
The summer time is a great time for fresh fruit! A fruit smoothie is a real cooler downer. So much fresh fruit is available now, so it a perfect time for smoothies! I am not talking about the “smoothies” in the mall.
Many of the mall vendors use syrup to give the smoothie flavor and they use a lot of ice. The syrup is loaded with processed sugar. Fruit has its own sugar! You can use any fruit you like but you can start with this recipe then get creative!
Here’s a nice recipe for a Smoothie that any family would love to chill out with.
Let the kids help, it might make it taste better to them!

This sounds delicious and I will certainly try! Just heard the news and they say it's going to be even hotter here in Michigan tomorrow!
That sounds sooo good! Do you use any frozen fruits in your smoothies?
Sounds yummy! Since it peaked near 100 here in NY yesterday & is suppose to today too, I think I will be giving this a try.
Yes. So you can have smoothies year round.
You know I have some peaches in my fridge right now that need eaten and this sounds like a perfect way to use them up. Thanks!
I love this recipe might be a good one to try with my kids.
That sounds really good. I need to try it with my kids.
They will love it!
Thanks! It’s sooo good!
Cool!
You’ll be glad you did!!!
yes! Frozen fruit helps the consistency to be a little thicker. you may want to add a little more water if it's too thick! Enjoy!
