Smoothie Queen

Now that it is getting close to summer it makes me want to get in to the habit of making a smoothie for breakfast in the morning.  I do not have a lot of time in the morning so it would need to be an easy recipe with only a few ingredients.  I found the Zacarito Smoothie Recipe and I think it sounds delicious and easy to make!

INGREDIENTS      

1/2 container of Welch’s Frozen 100% white grape juice concentrate
1 peeled banana
1/2 cup Strawberries
, fresh or frozen (if frozen, let thaw 15 min)
1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks, fresh or canned
1 to 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
Ice Cubes
DIRECTIONS

  • Pour the concentrate into blender.




  • Add fruit and scoop in yogurt




  • fill blender half way with ice




  • Blend until thick and smooth (should not be watery or thin



    1. Option: For Adult Twist*
    2. 
    3. Add 3/4 shot glass of brandy or 1 shot glass of strawberry vodka into the bottom of the blender before following with concentrate, fruit, yogurt and ice. Blend until thick and smooth
    4. If you prefer, you can substitute a splash of milk for the yogurt.
      You may add or leave out any fruit. The frozen concentrate is important for this recipe, it makes it think, and gives it a stronger flavor.
    
    

    *No, I will not be making it with the "Adult Twist" in the morning :-)
