Smooooooooooothies!

So I watched them make the smoothies at Jamba juice formally Zuka juice. LOVE them! But I am poor and cannot afford them, especially because my family likes them too, and lets face it $4.00 for mom to get a little happy isnt so happy when it is $12 for the rest of them to leave mommas happy alone!

I cannot count how many times I hit the curb getting out of the jamba juice in Colorado Springs! Me and a buddy would go in get a smoothie and read the Urban News. (for the life of me at the moment cant remember what it is called) Anyways we'd take turns reading the odd news. I love odd news. Like dumb criminals or people dying because they are stupid. ( not the dying part but the stupid part).  Good times over smoothies.

Almost always the conversation would turn to how good the smoothies would be with Coconut Rum or Kalua in them. Although I think we only tried it once? And I cant even remember that! To be young again....LOL

Smoothies it is really all about the juice!

Smoothies (bannana Strawberry my fav)
low fat yorgurt vanilla
banannas
frozen strawberry slices
apple juice concentrate (frozen apple juice)
Milk
Ice
A good mixer.
OJ if you have it.

Ok so I make them for me and my 4 so this makes about 3 big glasses full.
3-4 scoops of frozen yogurt, 1 bannana sliced, a good handful plus 3 strawberries, a large glass of ice, 1/3 of the fozen apple juice. 1c-2c of milk enough to make the mixer run. 1/4 c Orange juice if you want to. Mix mix mix till smoooooooooothies! They are sooooooo Yummy!And I hear healthy...healthier than a coke and a snickers!

And I always have to kick someone out of the kitchen! They hover for a smoothie.
