Sunshine Smoothies

2 adult servings

Fruit-and-yogurt smoothies are the perfect quick breakfast for a child who doesn’t eat breakfast very well; they also make an ideal snack during the day. These Sunshine Smoothies are full of vitamins and nutrients, and kids just love them. For added fun and enjoyment, serve smoothie with a straw in an appealing cup (perhaps decorated with stickers) as shown in the photo here.

1 cup orange juice
1 1/2 cup frozen or fresh berries: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries are ideal
1 large banana
Optional: 1/4 cup plain, full-fat yogurt

NOTE: If fresh berries are used, you will also need 4 ice cubes.

Put all the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
