Smoothie Palooza

I (heart) smoothies...here is a huge long list of smoothie recipes I've collected and perfected over the last few years. The trick to a good smoothie is nectar! Forget water, go to the store and get yourself some fruit nectar...yummy!

I don't use exact measurements when making smoothies...after you make them once or twice you'll get the hang of it, I promise. Fell free to mix and match different nectars for different twists.

Just Peachy
1 & 1/2 can peach nectar
1/2 bag frozen peaches
2-4 scoops (depends on what kind of scooper you are) raspberry sherbet

Blend all together. Add more or less nectar to achieve the consistency you prefer.

Raspmania
1 & 1/2 can strawberry nectar
1/2 bag frozen mixed berries
2-4 scoops (depends on waht kind of scooper you are) raspberry sherbet

Blend all together. Add more or less nectar to achieve the consistency you prefer.

Julius - these recipes are all over, here's the one we like
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
8-9+ ice cubes
(my grandma used to add an egg to make it a breakfast smoothie...try it if you dare)

Combine all ingredients except ice in blender. Blend 1-2 minutes, until frothy. Add ice cubes one at a time.

more to come!!
