smoothies are a favorite in my house! my 1 year old thinks its the best treat!
the basic components of a smoothie are going to be-
yogurt
*fruit (and veggies)
*juice
ice
you can experiment with different kinds of fruits, which you can get fresh or frozen with your WIC benefits. here's our basic recipe
1 carton of frozen strawberries with sugar (not available on WIC, however, plain frozen strawberries are)
1-2 bananas
a carton of vanilla yogurt
a dribble of juice (apple or orange)
some ice
there's nothing too exact here - just throw it in the blender and hit go! experiment with different types of fruits, veggies, plain yogurt, maybe even some of the jars of baby foods that some people get each month (baby bananas are my fav!). if you use plain yogurt and unsweetened fruits, you can experiment with other sweeteners as well - i've used sugar, but you can also use honey or agave nectar. just be sure not to give honey to babies under 1 year of age!
