Smooth-Slushy

I found a great way to use up bananas that are starting to turn. At this time of year they just don't last very long. As soon as they start to brown take the skin off and put them in the freezer. Use the frozen bananas to make smoothies. They come out like slushies. Lovely on a really hot day.

My staple smoothies is made up of:

• apple juice
• the juice of one orange
• a whole banana
• a handful of frozen berries - usually raspberries or summer berries

Blend all the ingredients together. Taste and add more ingredients if desired. I sometimes add yoghurt.

The girls help by squishing the orange, breaking up the banana and adding berries until I say STOP!
