Pineapple Strawberry Smoothies

For some unknown reason I have been making smoothies lately and this particular one is a keeper!
The little mat is a paper piecing project that I made and it seemed to be calling to me for a photo-op!

Don't you just love the pink and white paper straws? So many fun items on the market these days!

Pineapple-Strawberry-Banana Smoothies:

6 oz. carton pineapple yogurt
6 oz. carton strawberry yogurt
1/2 cup milk (start with that amount & you may need to add more)
1 cup strawberries, cut in 1/4's and frozen
1 cup pineapple, cut in chunks and frozen
1 large banana, cut in chunks and frozen

Place yogurt's, milk, and about half the fruit in a blender and process until smooth. Add more milk if necessary and the remainder of the fruit, processing until smooth.

Top with a little whipped cream and fruit, along with a cute straw and you have a treat!

This made four generous glasses.

Shamrock Smoothies!

To say that these Shamrock Smoothies are delicious is not an exaggeration by any stretch...scrumptious perhaps would be appropriate in describing them.

I jazzed up the original recipe that was in a Midwest Living magazine.
Preparing the smoothies doesn't take long and believe me you will be so pleased that you made them...refreshing to say the least!

Shamrock Smoothies:

1 banana, sliced in 1" chunks
6 Kiwi, peeled and quartered
Place the above prepared fruit on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze for approximately 4 hours.

In a blender, combine:
1 cup green grapes, seedless
6 oz. Key Lime yogurt (Yoplait)
1 cup orange juice
3 Tbsp. honey
4 -5 Tbsp. Rum, if desired
1/2 of the frozen fruit
Blend well and then continue adding the remainder of the fruit, blending well after each addition.

I added a few drops of green food coloring and that brightened the mixture beautifully!

Pour into desired vessels and top with whipped cream and a slice of Kiwi or fresh mint and you have a St. Patrick's Day treat!
