Reply:Put a cup or so of frozen strawberrys into a blender.

Add a blob of plain or vanilla yogurt - maybe 1/3 cup

Add apple juice almost to the top of the strawberries

Blend

You can add more or less juice to adjust the consistancy, I like mine so thick you almost have to eat them with a spoon. For smoothies that thick you may have to open and stir the blender between bursts or pick it up and shake it between bursts.



You can add a banana

You can sub orange for the apple juice

You can add a touch of vanilla, clove, nutmeg or all spice

You can add wheat germ or ground flax seeds



Hope this helps!
