Yesterday, we had some kiwis a little too ripe for just eating, but hadn’t gone bad yet, so we made smoothies again. I have strawberries in the freezer, so we used those, along with some frozen yogurt. The girls were happy!

We have a had time eating mangoes just on their own. So, what do we do with fruit that we don’t get eaten? Make smoothies!
Mango Banana Smoothie
What you need:
1 cup vanilla frozen yogurt
2 mangoes
1/2 banana
How to make it:
Put all ingredients in blender and puree until smooth.
Last night was one of those nights where I was lost on what to cook. I had ideas, but needed to run to the store if I wanted to be able to make any of them. K was whiny after school, and it’s probably better that we didn’t go because it has been raining all evening. My girls were both getting hungry, so I decided to make them smoothies. I still have plenty of strawberries and blueberries in my freezer, I bought them back in June/July when both were really cheap.
I added about 1 1/2 cups of frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, and 1 banana to my blender. I poured in milk until it came up to about the 2 cup line on my blender. If you use fresh berries instead of frozen, you will need to add in 1/2 cup of ice.
I then turned it on and pureed until well blended. Both girls were very happy!
