Yummy smoothie!

A friend of mine shared a delicious recipe for smoothies using Thrive foods with me. I modified it just a smidgen.

The THRIVE Very Berry Smoothie

1 1/2 C Mixed FD fruit in blender
Example: 1/8 C FD blueberries
4 chunks FD pineapple
1/3 C FD banana slices
1/2 C apple slices
1/8 C FD raspberries
1/2 C FD strawberries
1/3 C FD mandarin oranges

Add 1 cup water (just enough to cover fruit) and let soak 5 - 10 minutes. (This is the time I usually get my kids bookbags and/or lunches together).

Optional additions:
10-12 frozen grapes
1/2 - 1 cup of cubed melon (whatever you have or like, I cut my melons as soon as they are ripe and put them in a container in the fridge for quick use or snacking)

Add 1 Cup of ice and 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Blend and enjoy!

Thanks Lisa for the recipe!
