Fresh Fruit Smoothie

1 cup of juice (pineapple, orange, or apple)
1 cup of strawberries (raspberries will also work)
2 cups vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt

Mix items in blender until smooth and use more or less juice based on how thick or thin you like your smoothie. And if you like it a little sweeter, add sugar to taste. The beauty of this recipe…no ice! You can whip it up in your blender at a moment’s notice. Serve in a tall glass with whip cream and a fruit garnish.

Serves four.
