Summer is officially here, which means in our house that it is also officially smoothie time! My kids will wake up asking for these cool, fruity, nutritious treats. So today I thought I’d post a smoothie recipe for you. Note: you don’t need a juicer machine for this recipe, a blender will do just fine since we’re not removing the pulp. Just blend and drink! This is a recipe I’ve had for years, typewritten in my notebook – I’ve forgotten the source so regrettably I can’t give credit.
Brain Energizer Smoothie
1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup chopped apple
1 1/2 T peanut butter
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 banana, peeled and sliced
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
grated lemon peel, optional
ice cubes, optional
Place the ingredients in a blender and process until creamy.
