Simple Fruit Smoothie

We love smoothies in this house. It's such a delicious, easy way to get a couple of daily fruit servings in. You'll probably be seeing a lot of smoothie recipes on this blog as I experiment with new ingredient combinations.

This recipe, in its non-dairy form, is our standard, go-to smoothie that we make with ingredients we usually always keep on-hand. Today I tried adding a little organic yogurt for some variation, which was quite good! Even so, I think I still prefer the original, non-dairy recipe.

The Recipe

Yield: Makes 1 smoothie.
Use organic ingredients whenever possible!

1. Add blueberries, strawberries, banana and yogurt to a blender or tall Magic Bullet cup.
2. Pour in apple juice until the level just touches the top of the fruit.
3. Blend, adding more apple juice if the smoothie is too thick.
4. Serve and enjoy!
