Frozen Fruit Salad Smoothie
A good quality blender is an excellent addition to any home kitchen. It can be used in many ways making everything from cake batters, soups, vinaigrettes, nut butters, curry pastes, smoothies and more. Our family loves smoothies and I try to have some frozen fruit in the freezer all the time, so that whenever we get that smoothie craving, we have the needed ingredients. Throwing in a few raw cashews and chia seeds ups the ‘health factor’ for this smoothie and makes it the perfect drink to start the day. This is also an excellent choice for that mid-day snack. Adding some water to the blender jar with the frozen fruit helps the blender thin out the smoothie. Add a little extra if a thinner consistency is desired.
