Smoothies

I'm estimating on all the measurements. When I make smoothies I don't usually measure anything out.

2 cups milk

8 oz. yogurt

3 Tbsp orange strawberry banana juice concentrate

1 fresh banana

fresh Strawberries (if in season)

2 cups frozen fruit*

2 Tbsp honey or sugar

Combine all in a blender and blend on high until smooth.

* I buy a big bag of frozen fruit from Costco that has peaches, blueberries, strawberries, and honey dew. It's the perfect combination of fruit for these smoothies - but you can use any kind of fruit you want.

Pinkies

1 c. white sugar
3/4 c. water
1 T. Vanilla extract
1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage, chilled
1 lemon sliced
In a sauce pan, combine sugar and water. Boil for 1 minute, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and red food coloring; allow to cool. Store in a squeeze bottle for easy use.
Fill glass ½ way with ice. Add 1 Tbs syrup, then top with 8 oz lemon-lime soda. Garnish with a slice of lemon.
