My Favorite Fruit Smoothie Recipe With #FloridaOJ

by 7 Comments

I don’t remember when my fruit smoothie fetish began, but I distinctly recall planning outings just so I could drive by the ice cream shop that served smoothies back in the late 90s. Because there weren’t any good smoothie shops near my home (40 minutes away was a bit far) and because I couldn’t justify $5.00 and a long drive for a small drink, I figured that I’d better experiment until I could make a satisfying smoothie at home.

I’ve now been making smoothies for many years. My husband and oldest daughter are quite accomplished smoothie makers as well. We each have our trademark taste. My husband likes milkier smoothies (and heavy on the bananas); KitKat likes her smoothies heavy on the berries and yogurt; and I am the Orange Juice smoothie girl. I can put just about anything in a smoothie as long as it has an OJ base.
