Mix & Match Fruit Smoothies

Today I’m over at the Plan to Eat Blog sharing on of our favorite summer treats, mix and match smoothies:

Because all of my girls have dealt with dairy intolerances when they were infants and toddlers, I’ve never made yogurt/milk smoothies. Instead, I make pure fruit smoothies — usually with whatever fruit combinations I have on hand.

Here’s the Ehman Family Guide to Smoothies:

1. Start with a green. Spinach and kale are our favorites, although kale definitely has a stronger taste to match its extra calcium.

2. Add bananas. I regularly peel and freeze 4-5 bananas in bunches specifically for smoothies because they make a great base in lieu of dairy or milk.

This is perfect for us! I just made smoothies today with the kids and I was on the lookout for dairy-free recipes because of the baby’s milk intolerance. Thank you!

Aww, I remember that dairy-free lifestyle well. These are one of those
things that make up for it, LOL!

We usually do take our gadgets. Best solution we’ve found – vacation somewhere that you have little to no service. We just got back from a week of camping – there was a 5-minute drive down the mountain to check email and texts (at least for our provider). Would have been nice to get up-to-the-minute weather, though!
