Munchie Monday: Quick and Easy Delicious Fruit Smoothie

We bought a big basket of strawberries at the Farmers' Market last week and the week before.  Dear One said they were perhaps the best berries he had ever eaten!  The first batch was the better basket...

We have now used all of them!  Two big jars of jam (one of which was chia seed thickened and the other was low-sugar pectin thickened), one serving of strawberry shortcake left, and one quick and easy smoothie.


Quick and Easy Strawberry Smoothie

In a blender place:

1/2 cup soy milk or other non-dairy milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup fresh strawberries
1 large frozen banana
6 ice cubes


Blend for about a minute.  Pour into glasses and enjoy.  This made two 8-ounce glasses full.  It took no time at all to put them down the hatch!  So good.  I have not had a smoothie myself for some time.  This one was the best!

We will probably make this again.  There is a farm near us that has pick-your-own berries. I think we will go there this week!  They might have other produce as well.  It is sort of like anticipating Christmas!
