Fruit Smoothie


The other recipe I made this week was a fruit smoothie. I love smoothies, but usually I don't make them for myself, so I thought that I would try it out. I used a simple berry recipe, including a banana, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, milk, orange juice, and ice.

I first grabbed my blender, and put my banana pieces in the bottom. The banana was pretty ripe, and that's when bananas are the sweetest. Next, I put in my berries-about 2 cups altogether of a mixture of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. After this, I put a little less than 1 cup of crushed ice in, and then it was time for my liquid. I used 2 cups of orange juice and 1 cup of milk.





At this point, the smoothie didn't look very good, and almost looked like it wouldn't turn out, but it was all okay after I blended it all together. After this, all I needed to do was blend it all up. So I used my "smoothie" setting on my blender, and let it blend until all the ingredients were combined, and the smoothie was a pinkish color. I poured it in a glass, and topped it with a few berries. It didn't need any sugar, because the fruit already had enough natural sugars. The smoothie was delicious, and I was glad I could try making it. This is what the finished product looked like:
