Anytime smoothies

Click on the link below to cook this with children!

My Mum made these smoothies for the girls on a gorgeous summer day, about three years ago.  Even the baby loves them (oops, I just forgot that and finished off the bowl myself).  Add oats to make it more packed with super foods.  Mix and hand blend the following ingredients.  The amount of juice used makes different amounts.  The following makes about 2 large glasses of smoothie.

-------------

a handful of blueberries or strawberries (or any berry or fruit.  Kiwi is tasty)

a banana (preferably frozen with skin off - I store old bananas in the freezer - when they are cold, the smoothie tastes even better)

a couple of cups of tropical fruit juice (although Tropicana is more expensive, it seems to have the best nutritional value)

a cup of yoghurt (I always use whole yoghurt, even for myself, because it contains more nutrients.  Live yoghurt is even better)

Lynwoods seeds  - a tablespoon or so

--------------------

The girls love having competitions to see who gets the unblended blueberries!
