My Favorite Fruit Smoothie Recipe With #FloridaOJ

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 by Lolli 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.

Here's a little secret: I never actually measure out my smoothie ingredients. I just add them til they look right and then add a little more til it tastes right!

    My husband got mad at me yesterday because I hadn’t “told” him that we had Quik in the cupboard. lol He’s what you would call a Strawberry Quik freak, too. ;)

    I will take one with the berries and yogurt anytime. :) Maybe you could share a recipe for that one too some time soon? :) Also, I’d love you to share this with Weekly Photo Stew!
