Personally, I prefer unfrozen smoothies, but my daughter prefers them in frozen form, which is just as well.  I’m glad she likes this healthy treat – she can barely even wait for them to freeze!

Strawberry-Blueberry-Banana Smoothies
Can be frozen or simply drank fresh from the blender!
Makes approximately 3-4 cups

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups whole, fresh or frozen strawberries, mostly thawed
1 banana, sliced
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, mostly thawed
1 1/2 cups low fat milk
1 cup low fat yogurt, any flavor (I used vanilla)
3 teaspoons sugar

Method
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.  Immediately enjoy, or pour into popsicle molds to freeze for a cold treat.

With three different fruits, plus milk and yogurt, this frozen smoothie pop makes a great healthy treat for the kids.

If you prefer, you can strain the smoothie through a fine sieve to remove the strawberry seeds and tiny pieces of blueberry skin.

This is a simple drink that is totally refreshing, and I’m getting a huge craving for one right now!
