Fruit Smoothie ..... This drink is a refreshing way to start any day.

Fruit Smoothie
This is such a delicious way to add calcium, potassium, or fiber to a diet. The recipe is so versatile and makes a nice breakfast drink. It is a nice way to use the fresh fruit in season.
Ingredients:
Fruit juice( I use orange juice)
yogurt, any flavor
fresh fruit, any variety
a banana is a must
***
Directions:
Place the juice in a blender and add your choice of ingredients. Blend until smooth. Yogurt makes the drink creamy and adds calcium and other benefits to the diet.
***
The amounts are calculated according to the number of servings. I use frozen fruit in the winter when fresh fruit is very expensive or very limited. If you use a banana, mango or fresh peach in your drink you will not need to add sugar to the fruit.
