My Big Fat Greek Smoothie Drink
I make a smoothie of sorts for me every afternoon. Since I never eat enough fruit, I have decided this is one way I can get my daily requirement of fruit all at once! LOL ~ so naturally, I can't drink these at nite because of all the sugar in them ~ it keeps me up late. So that's why I drink them here at work ~ it gives me enough energy to get thru the day & I get my fruit!

I use a blender & add 1 banana, approximately 5-6 huge frozen strawberries & approximately 8 ounces of orange juice. You don't need to put ice cubes in because the frozen strawberries serve that purpose. Blend for about 30 seconds & you get a wonderful cold drink!

This sounds yummy Marianna! I make smoothies too, but not often enough..I like frozen peaches and frozen grapes as well, with fresh oranges, apples, and bananas...I use yogurt as the liquifier...YUMMMM and it adds calcium or some healthy junk like that :) Stacie

Can't wait to give this a go. I'm stuck on frozen juice pops at the moment.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to stop by MTMD today and commenting on the pics of my guest blogger LunaStone. This week I am featuring guest bloggers all week long with an outdoor theme that meets the theme of my blog in general. I hope you'll come back and check out the other guest posts the rest of the week, and that you'll return to my site every once in a while. I appreciate every reader, and no matter how you find my site, I'm glad you did.

Have a wonderful day!

I'm a terrible cook but even I can make this! And you're right, it is a good way to get your fresh fruits in for the day. Thanks, I'm trying this!
