Mmmm......I love fruit smoothies!! They are delicious and you can eat them guilt free because they are also good for you!! I'm not a fan of weird tasting food even if it is good for me...just ask my mom about that...so when I discovered how easy it was to make fruit smoothies, I found something that tasted good, was good for me and satisfied my healthy food crazy mom!
This smoothie serves two...though on occasion I have eaten the whole thing myself when no siblings were around to beg for a share!! I am using a stick blender to make this but you can use a regular blender too. Make sure you have a big enough container if you do use the stick blender...or you might end up with a smoothie on you instead of in you!!
And believe me....its much nicer to have it in you!

About two cups of whole frozen strawberries
About a cup or cup and a half of mixed berries.
(I'm using blackberry, raspberry and blueberry here)

Add about 3-3 1/2 cups of milk
(I never measure so these amounts are just guesses. You really can't go wrong with a smoothie!!

Blend with a stick blender or regular blender.
Yummy Smoothie!! This is a great start or end to the day.
I must confess....I do add a little bit of sugar to my smoothie....I know, I know...healthy fruit and milk and unhealthy sugar just shouldn't go together but it makes it taste better. You could also add honey, molasses or maple syrup if you don't want to add sugar but find that it is just a little too tart.
Enjoy!!
By the way guys, I know this is purply pink drink, but the color doesn't change the flavor! Or the health benefits.
Even my manly brothers don't hesitate to drain their glasses!!
