Summer fruits and summer heat– what better reason to make a smoothie!
I avoid sugar, so ice cream and most flavored yogurts are out. I make mine with ice, fruit, apple juice, milk, and little else. Here’s an example:
1 cup ice cubes
1 cup pitted apricots
1 banana, peeled
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 tsp vanilla
Put it all in a blender and blend it on the highest setting until smooth. Then, drink up!
You can substitute almost anything for the fruit: strawberries and cherries, apples and peaches. Use whatever is in season! Add a little coconut for variety. Use cinnamon instead of vanilla. The possibilities are endless!
