Fruit Yougurt smoothie
(Any time we buy bananas and 1 or 2 get beyond our preference, just peel the banana, cut it in 3-4 pieces and place in a container in the freezer.). Any ripe fruit or fruit salad that may have lost some visual appeal also place in container in freezer. The day you wish to make these, take your blender out, a small container of yogurt and the ripe frozen fruit from the freezer. Break the yogurt into 2-4 pieces with a knife – be careful. Place in blender. Add some pineapple juice and blend. (Add enough liquid to your own preference.) Place 4-6 chunks of frozen banana or less banana with some other fruit. I’ve even added applesauce. Add more pineapple juice if necessary. Spin it together.
Fill up Popsicle molds first. Serve the rest as a nutritious smoothie.
