Fruit Smoothies

This is something I make at least 4-5 times a week during the summer. It is a perfect snack for kids that have been out in the sun--healthy fruit, yogurt and cool.
I always use frozen fruit because it is cheaper and you don't need to add ice. If I am feeling fancy, I do add a slice of fresh fruit as a garnish but that's usually only for company :) All ingredients are fairly cheap so do yourself and your kids a favor and go organic for all of it, if possible!
Following are a few variations. For an extra boost, add protein or vitamin powder.

The Tropical Fruit Smoothie was created by my older daughter with zero input from me.
