    ingredients. Blend at mix setting for 30 seconds then blend

    Banana-Orange-Strawberry Fruit Shake

    10/2 banana, frozen 6 strawberries, frozen
    11/2 cup orange juice
    12/2 cup water 1 Tbsp. skim milk powder 1 heaping Tbsp. high-
    quality protein powder (optional) 1 tsp. flax oil
    (optional)

    In a blender, process all the ingredients until thoroughly
    mixed and serve.

    Pineapple Strawberry Banana Smoothie

    3 cups fresh orange juice or other fresh fruit juice that is
    not made from a frozen concentrate 2 cups frozen pineapple
    chunks (use fresh pineapple) 2 cups frozen strawberries
    (fresh or whole frozen, non-sweetened berries) 2 cups frozen
    banana chunks (2 medium bananas) 2 to 3 packages Equal brand
    sweetener, Splenda or other - optional

    Remove crown and bottom and slice rind off of pineapple,
    quarter it lengthwise and remove core also slicing
    lengthwise. Slice pineapple crosswise into quarter 1- inch
    slices. Slice bananas into 2- inch chunks. If using fresh
    strawberries, wash, core and pat dry. Place fruit on baking
    sheets, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until solid, 30
    to 60 minutes. This can be done well in advance. (I like to
    have frozen fruit on hand in freezer bags. After the fruit
    has frozen you can put it in a freezer bad or plastic
    covered container. The fruit has to be frozen in separate
    pieces on a baking sheet before you put it into a container
    or it will stick together in a mass.) Place juice, fruit and
    sweetener if using in blender or food processor and process
    until smooth (If fruit is too hard to process, allow it to
    soften for 1 or 2 minutes before continuing.) Serve at once
    or transfer or cover and chill for up to 60 minutes before
    serving. Smoothies are best served immediate after blending.

    Banana Pineapple And Mango Smoothie

    3 cups fresh orange juice or other fresh fruit juice that is
    not made from a frozen concentrate 2 cups frozen pineapple
    chunks (use fresh pineapple) 2 cups frozen whole fresh or
    frozen, non-sweetened mango chunks or slices 2 cups frozen
    banana chunks (2 medium bananas) 3 to 6 packages Equal brand
    sweetener, Splenda or other - optional

    Cut fruit into chunks. Place fruit on baking sheets, cover
    with plastic wrap, and freeze until solid, 30 to 60 minutes.
    This can be done well in advance. (I like to have frozen
    fruit on hand in freezer bags. After the fruit has frozen
    you can put it in a freezer bad or plastic covered
    container. The fruit has to be frozen in separate pieces on
    a baking sheet before you put it into a container or it will
    stick together in a mass.) Place juice, fruit and sweetener
    if using in blender or food processor and process until
    smooth (If fruit is too hard to process, allow it to soften
    for 1 or 2 minutes before continuing.) Serve at once or
    transfer or cover and chill for up to 60 minutes before
    serving. Smoothies are best served immediate after blending.

    Yield: Two 3 cup 24-oz. servings at approximately 350 to 375
    calories each depending on juice and combination of fruit
    used; 0.5 to 1 gram total fat; saturated fat; 0 cholesterol;
    93 grams carbohydrate; 10.9 grams dietary fiber; 6 grams
    protein; 8 milligram sodium.

    Note: You can use any combination of frozen fruit and juice
    you choose. The key is to use fresh juice not from
    concentrate and frozen fresh fruit. Juices from
    concentrates contain added sugars like corn syrup.
    Frozen peaches, blackberries, blue berries,
    raspberries, melons, etc. can all be used. You can
    also use frozen fruits that you purchase from the
    frozen foods section of the grocery store. These
    products work just as well as fruits you buy fresh and
    freeze your-self. You can use a combination of frozen
    and fresh fruit. However, the smoothie will not be as
    thick. Do not use canned fruit.

    Jamba Juice smoothies also contain ice and low fat frozen
    yogurt or sherbet as well as other optional additives.

    They compare at 450- 500 calories; 1 - 4 grams fat; 102 -
    125 grams carbohydrate 93 of which are simple sugar; 5 grams
    dietary fiber vs. 350-375 calories, 0.5 to 1 gram fat; 93
    grams of carbohydrate 70 grams are simple

    Citrus Fruit Smoothies

    5 cups grapefruit juice 3 cups orange juice 1 cup water 4
    medium firm bananas, cut up and frozen 12 frozen unsweetened
    strawberries

    In a blender, place half of each ingredient; cover and
    process until smooth.. Pour into a pitcher. Repeat. Serve
    immediately.
