We hope you are enjoying your summer. It has been so hot here we are drinking whatever we can find! Little Chef A has been asking for a long time to make up her own recipe. Well….she has done it! I let her create her very own smoothie recipe. This is her very first of many, I’m sure! How did this come about?? Well, I let her know what ingredients we had available and let her decide how much of what she wanted to include in the smoothie.
She chose 1 cup of frozen mixed berries.
1 cup frozen sliced peaches.
1 cup peach yogurt.
1 cup apple juice.
1 Tablespoon honey – “for a little sweetness.”
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon- “just for more flavor.” Add 9 ice cubes and blend until smooth.
This is a thick smoothie, but what a success! She even named it herself! A berry, peach smoothie with a hint of cinnamon. She absolutely loved this opportunity. Not only does she want to do this again, but so do her sisters. Little Chef C is asking to make her own smoothie tomorrow night!
