Let's Smoothie Everything Over

Breakfast Fruit Smoothies

So, this post is going to break with the template a bit because this isn't actually a recipe. It's more a list of great ideas. 

First, some background: PC is on a sort-of diet. It's only a sort-of diet because the only two real changes is that I'm making 'lighter' suppers with more veggies, and instead of cereal for breakfast he has fruit. First he started having a pear for breakfast, but after an hour or so he would be hungry, so we hit on another idea: SMOOTHIES!!

It goes like this. I put fruit and fruit juice in the blender. Blend. Pour into two cups. One for PC, one for me and the princess (we share). I freeze the leftovers in Ice Pop molds for SMOOTHIE POPS!!! 

(You may or may not have noticed, but I'm rather exited about this...) 

Here are some of the smoothie combinations we have tried: 

1. Blueberries, pineapple, and juice (Either guava, youngberry, orange or pomegranate) 
2. Strawberries, pineapple, and juice
3. Strawberries, mangoes, and juice
4. Strawberries, kiwis and juice
5. Strawberries, blueberries, kiwis and juice
5. Strawberries and apples and juice
6. Blueberries and mangoes and juice
7. Blueberries and kiwis and juice
8. Blueberries and apples and juice
9. Blueberries, mango, persimmon and juice

Really any combination. I usually use a base of blueberry or strawberry and then add a second or third fruit. I don't usually add sugar unless the smoothie is really tart (generally with the kiwi) or really bland (i.e.: with the apple). 

And the best part is, it keeps you full till noon!! 

Oh and did I mention SMOOTHIE POPS!!!

Feel free to comment with your ideas!
