My favorite Smoothie base




So - I'm totally into smoothies. I drink them almost every day...and thought I'd share what I put in them:

1 and 1/2 c. vanilla soy milk (I usually go with Silk Lite)
1 banana
1 - 2 packets Splenda

Okay - so that's the "base". To that you can add a host of other things such as:
strawberries, peaches, mixed berries, pineapple, coconut, mango, etc. I seriously stock up on frozen fruit {available in your local grocer's FREEZER section. :)} If you are really feeling health conscious - throw in a tablespoon of wheat germ; you can't even taste it.
Be sure to blend, blend, blend. I'm not a fan of chunks in my smoothies - so you've gotta blend real well.
Today's smoothie (see picture) was made with about 1 and 1/2 cups strawberries and it was DELISH. Enjoy.

i was inspired by you to make a smoothie for avery so she could cool down those molars coming in and she loved it. i used her whole milk and some whole plain yogurt, banana and strawberries and some vanilla extract. she didn't drink it all so i froze the rest in an ice cube tray. if i was thinking i would've froze popsicle sticks in them, but she loves to play with them and eat them alone too. feel good on her teeth.
