Smoothie-licious

Welcome to my very first made up by me smoothy recipe. This recipe may exist on some fabulous blog somewhere, but I don't know, this is all me. Of course with the help of several fabulous smoothy tasters, I am sure they are willing to be hired out "Will be opinionated for smoothies" is their tagline! ha-ha!

Two 6 oz containers of strawberry yogurt
1 can of frozen Dole Strawberry-Orange-Banana juice concentrate
1 banana
1-2 cups strawberries (I used fresh but I am sure frozen will work too)
1-2 tsp of honey

place in blender until smooth. Add ice cubes to get desired consistency. Enjoy!

Orange Julius

Makes a great Family Home Evening treat.

1 (6 oz) can frozen orange juice
1 cup milk
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
12 ice cubes

Blend and serve immediately!

Banana EggNog

This is a family tradition. I only wish I could stay away from it all year, but I crave it!

3 eggs
3 cups milk, divided
3 TBS of sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1-2 bananas depending on your preference (I love it with 2)
5-6 ice cubes

In a blender measure in one cup of milk, add eggs, sugar vanilla, lemon extract and salt. Mix well, add bananas and mix again. Finally add icecubes, mix until smooth. Poor into a pictcher and add final two cups of milk mix together. This serves about 3 people if you really like the stuff. My kids only drink about 1/2 cup each so this makes enough for my whole family.
