Family Favorite Smoothie

Hey guys! I've missed you, but last year when my dad and I had the realization that we could probably get into trouble for putting these recipes online, we were too busy to find any creative ways to get around those legalities or whatever. So anyways, I decided to just give you guys a new post that I am pretty sure is rightfully ours. This family has been through a lot of smoothies. Seriously. From honey lavender to peanut butter apple, we know them all. A smoothie is what you make it. Without further ado, I present, the smoothie surprise!



(Whatever You) Fancy FRUIT SMOOTHIE

    It's simple. Pretty much take whatever fruit you have in the pantry, say 1 overripe banana, 2 ripe peaches, and, let's say, an apple. So your goal is just to break it all down so it can be processed in your blender. You'll have absolutely no trouble breaking the banana, so you can just put that in right away. and for the peach, slice it in half around the seed, much like you'd do with an avocado, and remove the seed. If you want the nutrition and are willing to risk a gross texture, go ahead and put the peach in just like that, if you want the taste and don't care about extra nutrition, peel the skin off the peach. If it is so ripe that it's like juicing as you touch it, hold it over the blender and just get off as much skin as you can. Don't  worry about destroying the peach. It's about to come to a much worse death anyways. And for the apple, you can peel it if you like, or just leave it. so cut out the core like you are normally cutting an apple, take out the core. Then cut it into cubes and drop those in the blender. So pretty much just use whatever food you want, just be sure to consider what it will be like when its in tiny smithereens.

   Now we talk preferences. Here's a quiz.

1. Do you like your smoothies cold?     Yes (Go to #2)        I don't mind if it's warm (Go to #3)

2. Are you going to drink it right away?   Yes (Go to answer A)      No (Go to answer C)

3.  Do you want your smoothie more...    Cold (Go to answer A)     Creamy (Go to answer B)



Answer A                                              Answer B                                Answer C
Your base is... Ice Cubes!                      Your base is... Milk!               It's up to you! Whatever sounds
drop about 5 ice cubes in, or more,        Pour in a few tablespoons       best or you think will go best
depending on how much smoothie        of milk.                                    with the ingredients you have. If
you are making.                                                                                     you want it chilled, just stick it in          
                                                                                                               the fridge.

Alright, so now you probably have your fruits and base decided. You can put them in your blender, and MAKE SURE THE LID IS SECURED. Seriously. Try the puree button. If that's to fast, you can just work downwards. Once it has turned all one color and flows smoothly without too much noise, it's done. Pour it into a glass and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Ha ha, get it? :)
