Tropical Thunder

Summer is fast approaching, and I am in full-throttle smoothie makin' mode. Good thing I have my trusty Magic Bullet blender to see me through. Here's my latest creation. Amounts are approximate. This will make two 12-16 oz. smoothies.

1 Mango Popsicle (preferably the kind made with real fruit)
1 Banana
1 C Frozen Pineapple Chunks
1/2 C Plain Yogurt
1/2 C Coconut Water (NOT Coconut Milk!)

Blend to your heart's content!

Thuper Thmoothieth (Super Smoothies)

Ingredient amounts are approximate. You may adjust for your desired smoothie texture and flavor balance. Both recipes make 2 large smoothies or several smaller ones.

Vanilla Chocolate Cherry Bomb

• 1 Cup ice



• 1 Cup frozen pitted cherries



• 1 Cup vanilla yogurt (or plain yogurt plus 1 tsp. vanilla extract)



• 1 banana



• 2 T chocolate syrup
  

Blend all ingredients. (If you need to add liquid for blendability, I recommend milk or water). Then drizzle more chocolate syrup on top.

Cherry Lime Squeeze

• 1 Cup frozed pitted cherries



• 2 real fruit lime popsicles (or 1 Cup limeade plus 1 Cup ice)



• 1 Cup plain yogurt

Blend all ingredients. (If you need to add liquid for blendability, I recommend limeade, milk, or water).
