Grape Smoothie


Why am I making smoothies when it's icy cold outside? Because I'm a sneaky mom with a child on an eating strike. Smoothies are a great way to sneak in yogurt, milk, and fruit. I used an orange julius recipe but substituted grape juice, reduced the water, and added yogurt and a banana. My kids and husband thought it was great.

GRAPE JUICE SMOOTHIE

1/2 can grape juice (6 oz.)
1 c. milk (whatever kind you like, skim, whole, raw...it doesn't matter)
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. yogurt
1 banana, sliced
1/4 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla

Fill a blender 2/3 full with ice. Add remaining ingredients. Place lid securely and blend. Serve immediately. Serves 4
