Fruit for the Day Smoothie
This smoothie turns a can of mandarin oranges and a bag of frozen fruit into a breakfast-sized drink in five minutes. The canned syrup sweetens the blend, so no sugar or honey is needed, and the frozen bananas and strawberries make it thick and cold without any ice. Milk keeps the texture creamy. It makes one generous glass, and it is an easy way to use up fruit that is getting too ripe.
Instructions
Pour the whole can of mandarin oranges into the blender, syrup included, so the liquid sits at the bottom near the blades.
Add the sliced frozen bananas, then the frozen strawberries, and finish by pouring in the milk.
Put the lid on and hold it down firmly with your hand. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds to start breaking up the frozen fruit.
Switch to high speed and blend for 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth with no icy chunks left.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and drink it right away while it is still cold and thick.
Make it personal.
