My family has become addicted to real fruit smoothies. Not a bad problem to have considering the fact that smoothies are healthy, filling and quite refreshing as well! And you can easily make smoothies at home using a few simple and economical ingredients. Here's a basic recipe for a fabulous peach, banana and strawberry smoothie on a budget.
Mix the following ingredients in a blender:
- One cup of milk
- One small container of strawberry yogurt (priced at just 35 cents at Aldi)
- One banana
- Two cups of frozen peaches (sometimes available at the local dollar store)
- A handful of ice cubes
Blend on medium until smooth and enjoy. This peach, banana, strawberry smoothie serves three people. And for even creamier results you can add in a cup of whipped topping.
