Morning Smoothies

The only thing my daughter loves more than drinking smoothies, or "juice" as she calls it, is making smoothies. She loves to help in the kitchen and adding all the ingredients to the blender is easy enough for her to handle on her own. We also have fun counting all the ingredients as they go in.

Here's our favorite recipe:

Sofie's Simple Smoothie

One banana
5-6 strawberries
1/4 cup blueberries
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1 cup ice

Throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth. Makes enough for two servings (or three small ones). You can use fresh or frozen berries. I've been using Trader Joes Organic Frozen berries lately.

New toys!

I know I haven't really gotten this blog up and running yet, being a stay-at-home, work-at-home mom means there are pretty much never enough hours in the day, but I'm still determined!

Here's a sneak peek at the big birthday cake post to come. Despite having no free time I really wanted to make my daughter's 3rd birthday cake myself. Never really made a cake like this before so here goes nothing!
