I always have the problem of buying a lot of fruit, fresh fruit...thinking if I have it at my house, we'll eat it. The apples usually get eaten but that's about it. I was throwing rotten fruit out like no other. Until...my brother and sister-in-law gave me the perfect solution. I now freeze all the fruit that looks like it is starting to go bad. Then, whenever I feel like a healthy treat, I pull out the frozen fruit and make a smoothie out of it. I love trying different fruit blended with each other. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, blackberries, banana's. I throw some vanilla in the fruit smoothies and then 1/3 of a can of some kind of frozen concentrate. Frozen pineapple juice, orange juice, Orange-Pineapple-Banana blend or Strawberry-Orange-Banana are some of the few I love. No sugar needed! Delicious! I also make it even more healthy and throw fresh spinach in my smoothies. You can't taste it and it's so good for you! Thanks Taylor and Annie for the great idea!!!

yum, that does look delicious. what a great idea
The one you made the other night that I tried was so dang good. I really need to get on the ball and do this so I can get my five a day.
I've been wanting to make these for Boston to trick him into eating his fruits and veggies. If you come up with your fav mixture let me know. In the meantime I'm going to have to experiment my own.
Yummy... that's a great idea! I hate throwing away fruit too and I do it too often. I'll have to try that. I'm so glad you guys have a blog now and it looks like you are very good at updating it!
Don't accidently use maple extract instead of vanilla...Taylor did that once...NOT good.
