The Perfect Pear-ing Smoothie


Get out your pears and yogurt because it's time for another smoothie recipe. This time it's going to be a step up from what we were doing because I normally don't add yogurt, but this came out deliciously!


1 cup orange juice
       1 full, sliced pear
                 1 full banana
                        15 purple grapes
                                   3 tablespoons of yogurt



As you can see I am using this Simple Truth Organic Plain Lofat Yogurt. It is delicious and healthy... What?


Blend and enjoy! This smoothie is sweet and heavy and the texture is smooth because of the yogurt. This is so far my favorite smoothie that I have made so far and I hope you guys give it a try!

Indie-Go-Go Smoothie

Feeling blue or just in the mood to drink it? Here is an easy smoothie for you!


1 cup of orange juice
1 small hand full of spinach
2 small hand fulls of blueberries
8 blackberries


BLEND!



Your final result is a pretty hue of purple,which is fun to look at and fun for kids to eat!


B-B-B-Bonus tip: Fruit going bad after you've just set it out? Some fruits and veggies produce a gas called ethylene as they ripen, but this can cause other fruits to ripen faster as well. Keep your ethylene-producing fruit in a separate fruit bowl in another location. Popular examples of ethylene-producers are; bananas, melons, peaches, tomatos and avacados (among others! This is a good site to see a full list on both varieties!) Popular examples of ethylene-sensitives are; apples, watermelon, potatoes, and carrots.
