1 1/2 generous cups freshly chopped fruit of your choice,
...(mangoes, kiwi, peaches, plums, strawberries, raspberries,
...blueberries, papaya, watermelon, cantaloupe, or honeydew)
1 small banana, cut into chunks
1/2 cup plain or fruit-flavored yogurt
1/2 cup skim or low-fat milk
6 ice cubes
sugar, optional
fresh fruit chunks and fresh mint sprigs, optional
In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, banana, yogurt, milk, and ice
cubes. Puree until smooth. Add a little sugar if the drink is not as sweet
as you like. Pour into tall glasses and drink up. On a leisurely morning,
garnish the smoothie, if you wish, with fruit chunks on toothpicks and
sprigs of mint for each glass. Makes 1 serving.
