Pink and Orange Smoothies


We've gotten on quite the smoothie kick here.  On most days I make a smoothie for Sabrina and myself when she gets home from school.  For a while Naomi didn't prefer smoothies because they're cold; however, I think she's coming around and is starting to like them after all.  I decided recently to try my hand at smoothies with an orange juice base.  Sabrina wanted me to make smoothies of different colors, so the two varieties below are for our "pink" smoothie and our "orange" smoothie.  Both flavors are great, so take your pick depending on which you're in the mood for.

Pink and Orange Smoothies
serves 2 adults or 1 adult and 2 small children

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 medium to large ripe banana
  • for a pink smoothie:  1 cup frozen strawberries and 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • for an orange smoothie:  1 cup frozen mango pieces and 3 ice cubes  
Instructions:

Add the orange juice, water, and honey to a blender.  Blend until the honey is combined.  Cut the banana into pieces.  Then add the banana pieces, frozen fruit, and ice cubes (if making the orange smoothie) to the blender.  Blend until smooth.  Serve immediately.
