fruit smoothies

I love fruit smoothies, I just don't like the entire idea of paying six to eight dollars for them, with the fall season right on us, the cropping of fresh home grown fruit is at hand, i have neighbors that have fruit, from grapes, apples, raspberries, peaches, etc... i got a hold of a lot of fruit, and i knew that if i was to froze some of this fruit it would hold it's nutrients and chill my smoothie with more fruit and less ice, i froze some fresh pineapple, bananas and some grapes, and then blended all the fresh fruit i could find in my fridge, i ended up with a creatioin that i think is worth sharing:


one banana (frozen)
one cup of green grapes (frozen)
one kiwi
one peach (without the pit)
one apple
one pear
half a cup of strawberries
half a cup of papaya (frozen)
half a cup of orange juice

blend it all for 4 min and there it is, fresh healthy and delicious...

 
if you want to make this a double healthy elixir, you can add ( at your own risk)

flax seed, alfalfa sprouts, oatmeal, protein powder, yogurt, granola, spinach, carrots, etc...

i love fresh fruit and i hope this mix pleases your wildest taste buds :)

i think this is a great way to get a healthy meal without having to spend a lot of time, and allows me to have breakfast while driving, and i remember growing up i was told to have at least a fruit serving per day, even though some days I have twenty at a time, i do enjoy some healthy greens too :)
