I had major dental surgery and am now toothless. While I should be on a steady diet of anything through a straw, I still jammed a piece of cake on the ‘good side’ of my mouth and chewed it up. Hey, a girl can try.

However the Kid got right to work on my new liquid diet. He said he wanted to make smoothies and when I went to get the blender, I turned around and he’d already drawn up a visual recipe for me to follow. He’s a quickdraw! He made me follow his instructions EXACTLY and it came out fantastic.

ingredients:
16 ounces frozen strawberries
1 banana (cut up)
1 cup orange juice

The ingredients in this are simple. While I wanted to add some more ‘stuff’ the Kid wouldn’t hear of it. He was right. Simple was best.

Frozen strawberries are great because it gives you just the right amount of slush factor without having to add ice. Blend frozen strawberries, banana and orange juice in a blender. Add more juice if you need to, but not too much.

Blend until the smoothie starts to turn in on itself like a mini tornado. That’s how you know it’s ready!
