The Carb-o-nator Smoothie
Yeah, yeah, I know. Carbs are bad. Well, not when they are being delivered in a great smoothie recipe. Most fruit smoothies are full of delicious “evil” carbs, but this one pours it. Now you can pour it out, the Carb Smoothie, that is.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup yogurt (any flavor, but vanilla is a good base)
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1 small banana
- 2 cups of ice
Blend, drink and exercise off all those carbs.

Tropical Fruit Smoothie
Thank you to Sonny Martin for this delicious smoothie recipe. Inviting too many fruits to the smoothie party can sometimes be a problem, but this mix of fruits works very well. Don’t leave out the coconut cream, it really changes the flavor.

- 1 cup of Papaya, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1 mango, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and broken into chunks
- 2-3 tablespoons coconut cream (not milk)
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 1½ cup plain yogurt (we prefer Mountain High brand)
- 1 to 1 ½ cup crushed ice
Blend all ingredients, except ice, in blender first set at medium and then at high. When smooth continue blending while pouring in 1 to 1½ cups crushed ice. Serves 4 to 6.
