Guess what time it is? It's smoothie time! I love smoothies. They're always so fresh, delicious, and can be made to taste. My kids love smoothies, and they really enjoy making them with me, too. I enjoy experimenting with smoothies, and I recently stumbled upon this great one that I call "Orange-alicious". I was immediately drawn to the idea from Real Simple magazine since it included carrots, which I somehow didn't think to put in a smoothie before. My kid taste-testers give this one two thumbs up, and so do I. Enjoy!
Orange-alicious Smoothie
Adapted from: Real Simple, February 2011.
Ingredients:
3/4 c fresh or frozen (unsweetened) pineapple chunks
1/2 c ice (if using frozen fruit, then the ice is not necessary, in my opinion)
Juice of 1 large orange or 1/3 c of 100% orange juice
1 small carrot, chopped (or about 1/4 c chopped)
1/2 banana (1/2 a frozen banana would work great, too, and you may not need the ice)
Directions:
1. Combine ingredients in the blender, and blend until smooth.
