Fruity Smoothie

On a hot summer day there is nothing quite as refreshing as a fruity smoothie. Have for breakfast or as an afternoon treat!

Fruity Smoothie

1/2 cup Cascadian Farm Organic frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries or raspberries) or you can use fresh fruit that's in season.

1 cup of low fat Horizon's organic milk

1 cup of Horizon's organic yogurt (plain, vanilla, or fruity)

Bit of honey

1/2 of a banana (tip: cut up a banana and freeze to throw in a smoothie for added frostiness)

Blend and enjoy!
