It's Been a Long Time, Cupcake!

I know, I'm a bad, bad blogger. But things in my life are changing (as they usually do), and I want to update my blogs more frequently. So, in that vein, here's a new recipe!

A few weeks ago, I resolved (again) to eat more healthy, to take care of myself, lose weight, yadda-yadda-yadda. So now, every morning, I start my day with a smoothie. I started by just throwing a bunch of stuff in a blender, tweaked it a couple of times, and now I think it's great!

Sarah's Smoothies (makes enough for 2 large smoothies):
8 pieces of ice
2 cups frozen fruit medley, slightly thawed & sweetened w 1 Tbsp sugar/artificial sweetener (I use Dole 'Wildly Nutritious' blend of Strawberries, Pineapple, Mango, & Peaches)
6 Tablespoons Dannon Light & Fit (I use Vanilla, but you can get Plain)
1 whole banana, medium, cut into chunks
splash of juice (I alternate btwn Apple & Pomegranate)

Blend to your heart's content & enjoy! I also cannot recommend enough the Ninja Master Prep blender for this task. I had to buy one when my old blender crapped out on me my second day of smoothie making. Wow! It takes more time to put all the ingredients into the Ninja than it does for the blender to actually smoothi-ify them. The taste and texture is the same from the first sip to the last, and everything is dishwasher safe.

If you decide to try my smoothie recipe, please tell me what you think. Have a 'to-die-for' recipe of your own? Please share!
