Keepin' Cool

For a refreshing breakfast or snack on a hot day(and there are plenty of those kind to choose from around here!), you just can't beat smoothies.  Here's a purple pretty I whipped up a couple of weeks back--no true recipe, but roughly a half cup orange juice, half cup yogurt, cup of frozen fruit(this one was a combo of blueberries, grapes and strawberries, I think). Maybe more fruit if you like it thicker. I also added a scoop of protein powder and a vitamin supplement. Hubby didn't know he was drinking his vitamins(but his glass didn't have flowers on it, either!). It didn't have any added sugars, either. The frozen grapes REALLY make it sweet.

What's YOUR favorite healthy hot day refreshment?

Nope! The grapes were FROZEN. That just made it sweet--and icy. You would have liked it, and a certain third child wouldn't have KNOWN it contained no sugar or sherbet! :)
