Smoothies

This recipe is probably one of the easiest recipes that I have ever done. I made an orange smoothie out of Ree Drummond's book A Pioneer Women Cooks: A Year of Holidays. Smoothies can be a great snack or a quick breakfast in the morning.

The recipe was:
2 cups Greek yogurt
2 cups frozen mango chunks
2 cups frozen peach slices
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup miniature carrots
1 banana, peeled
1/4 cup honey
1 cup orange juice

A smoothie is a great drink because you "put all the ingredients in the blender" (Drummond 3). With this recipe I halved it because it made a lot of smoothie and I knew the people eating the smoothie wouldn't be able to drink all of it. The smoothie took a while to blend because of all the ingredients you put in, but you wanted to wait until everything was smooth (Drummond 3). A trick that I learned was if you wanted a thick smoothie follow the recipe exactly as written. But if you like a thinner smoothie you could add about a 1/4 of a cup more of orange juice to the recipe. (Drummond 3)

Everyone liked the smoothie. I thought the smoothie was good and I liked how the carrots added some flavor and texture to the smoothie. Also, I thought it was different that you didn't have to add ice to the smoothie since the mango and peaches were already frozen. I would definitely make it again for my family and friends!

Question: What is your favorite smoothie? Have you made smoothies before?
