Tropical fruit smoothie

canarygirl's Note:

This is a summer favorite in our family. The kids just can't seem to get enough of it! Whatever fresh fruit you have on hand--make as much or as little as you like, though I suggest making it in single servings, or adding a bit of lemon so it doesn't turn brown in the fridge. This is my favorite fruit combo:

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1/2 small papaya
• 1/2 pear
• 1/2 nectarines or 1/2 peach
• 1/2 banana
• 1 (6 ounce) container yogurt (I like to use pineapple flavor)

Directions:

1. Whirl everything together and enjoy!
2. If the mixture is thick, you can always add a little milk or juice, or add an orange to the combo to lighten it up a bit.

I used pears, peaches, and a bit of crushed pineapple. Blended it with banana yogurt, and added a touch of cinnamon. It was just thick enough to merit a spoon along with the straw. It was a very good, refreshing afternoon drink. Great summer treat. Thanks canarygirl!
