Finally, the perfect base for a mixed fruit smoothie!

With the right ingredients a smoothie for breakfast is nutritious & delicious!

Mixed Fruit Smoothies
1/2 cup skim milk (or all natural juice)
1 cup Stonyfield's Organic French Vanilla yogurt
2 whole pieces of fruit or 1 cup of fruit like berries - skins on if possible, cut up (fruit with a rind like oranges & lemons, use the zest for added nutrition)

Blend together on high. Makes great Popsicles!

Combination ideas:
Strawberry/banana
Mango/peach
Pumpkin/cranberry
Pomegranate/mango
Blueberry/orange
Cherry/lemon

I've been freezing fruit for the winter. I think I'm going to freeze up the amount of fruit needed for a batch in individual "smoothie combos" for easy breakfasts during the school year.
This is great site that's tells you how to can or freeze just about anything.
