Strawberry Banana Smoothie

We are on a smoothie kick here at our house. Ever since we go our Ninja Master Prep last weekend. We got strawberries and bananas in the Bountiful Basket so my girls asked if we could make a strawberry smoothie. Here is what we came up with.

1 1/2 cups of hulled chopped strawberries (from BB)

1 banana sliced (from BB. You could add more banana but I don't like smoothies where all you can taste is the banana.)

8-10 ice cubes

1/2 a carton (2 lb) of vanilla yogurt

1/2 cup milk

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp of lemon juice (I personally wanted to add more but my girls insisted that was enough)

Blend all ingiedients together until smooth. Pour in glasses and Enjoy!

Mango Lassi

So I'm thinking mangoes are my new favorite fruit. We are getting them a lot in our Bountiful Baskets. So yes, this is another BBasket recipe post :) But this one is a smoothie. And OMG! It is so yummy! I first had a Mango Lassi when I lived in California. It is an Indian drink (and no, not Native Americans, but people actually from India). So I looked up a recipe for one and came across this one. I altered it a little bit though.

Here is my version of the recipe.

2 mangoes (from BBasket) peeled, flesh removed from the seed thingie in the middle and roughly chopped

1/2 a carton of vanilla yogurt (from the 2lb carton)

about 3/4 cup of milk (I eyeballed it)

a large handful of ice

1/2 cup of sugar (you can add more, but my mangoes were really ripe and very sweet)

Place all ingriedients above in a blender (I just bought the Ninja Master Prep this weekend and it is awesome!) and combine until very smooth and thick. Pour into glasses and enjoy!
