Smoothies

We have gotten into a really bad habit around my house.  Every night right before bed we have a big bowl of popcorn, nachos, or smoothies (last night we even had all three).  The kids love it and wait anxiously for that time of night.  So I thought I should post my smoothie recipe.  One of my three children HATES fruit, but he loves smoothies (he must not realize there is fruit in it).  The fun part is with this recipe I can use any kind of fruit that I want.  We've used blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches and mango and combinations of them together as well.  They all turn out great with this recipe.

1 cup frozen fruit
1 banana frozen (you can use not frozen also, it just makes the smoothie not as thick)
2 T. honey
1/4 vanilla yogurt (or whatever you have on hand)
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup milk
1-2 T. milled flax seed

Blend in blender until smooth.  I don't like my smoothies very thick, so you can actually drink them, so at the end if it looks too thick I just add more milk.

I'm don't like to measure things much when I'm cooking (it drives my husband nuts), so you can't really screw up this recipe because I'm sure I have put too much of something and not enough of the other a few times, but it always tastes good.

It is even a good for you by adding the milled flax seed.  I am hoping to try disguising a handful of spinach in the smoothies soon. I'm hoping nobody will notice :)
