This Is Kristin

~ I’ve had a few friends ask for my smoothie recipe, so I thought I’d post it here.  I worked at Ikedas in CA, for a couple of years, and ended up working in nearly every section of the store, and resturant, but during the summers I was a “smoothie girl.”  After that I also worked at a California Juice Company, but I didn’t think their smoothies were as good.  So I continue to make smoothies like the way I learned at Ikedas.  (the main difference is using frozen fruit instead of ice) 

Smoothie base (this doesn’t change):

• Banana
• 1 cup yogurt

Then I add:

• 2 cups frozen fruit (The fruits vary according to what flavor I’m going for.  I use frozen fruit instead of ice, and it’s way cheaper to buy fresh fruit and freeze it, instead of buying already frozen fruit) 
• Juice to just barely cover ingredients (again, juice vary for flavor)
• 1 TBSP honey
• 1 tsp. vanilla 

~Some of my favorite fruit combinations are raspberries, berry juice and lime.  Orange/ carrot juice and extra bananas, and just the good ol’ banana strawberry and apple juice standby.  

*What is your favorite smoothie flavor?
