Simply Orange, Simply Delicious

simply-orange

The best orange juice available in the refrigerator section of the grocery store, and quite possibly the best orange juice known to man. Perfectly sweet, perfectly juicy and perfectly delicious. This orange juice captures the flavor of a fresh squeezed orange better than any packaged orange juice I’ve ever tasted.

By the way, am I the only one that thinks fresh “squozen” would actually sound better than fresh squeezed? If only it were a word ;  )

Real Smooth Fruit and Peanut Butter Smoothies

banana-smoothieBanana and Peanut Butter Smoothie

The way to a thick and creamy smoothie is to use frozen fruit, not ice, to achieve a desired thickness. You can buy frozen fruit at the grocery store, or freeze it yourself. Cut or break fruit such as bananas and peaches into pieces no larger than a strawberry before freezing — otherwise you may learn the hard way, as I did, that blender blades really do have their limitations.

The following smoothie recipe is a great way for kids and adults alike to get fruit, dairy, and protein all in one delicious gulp.

Fruit and Peanut Butter Smoothie

3 small frozen bananas, or 1-1/2 cups of frozen strawberries, peach or otherwise

8 ounce container of Yogurt (Vanilla or any other complimentary flavor)

1- 1/2 cups Milk

1/4 cup Peanut Butter (optional)

1/4 cup Sugar

2 tsp. Vanilla

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend on high til smooth. Add extra milk if you find the smoothie to be too thick. Makes about 3 cups.
