It ain't no joke that us Nielson's have quite the sweet tooth. It's also a fact that out of pure delight I visit my local, most favorite bakeries 3+ times a week for little bites of my favorite home-made tasting treats. (More on that another day.) I try however, to compensate for my little indulgences by eating healthy at home and limiting any and all "junk food" that enters my door. I try to buy organic whenever possible and read every label in efforts to stick with all natural ingredients. A couple years ago I bought a Vita-mix that I have absolutely loved. During the school year when the kids are rushing around getting ready I sneak the good stuff into smoothies which they down on their way out the door. It's been a great investment! I was recently reminded of a very simple recipe found on my friend
Lisa's blog that I hadn't made for quite sometime. I forgot how delicious it was.
The recipe call's for:
1 cup yogurt ( I love
Mountain High brand because of it's high probiotic cultures)
2 cups fresh strawberries (or you can use frozen and omit the ice)
2 cups crushed ice
1/3 C sugar
Blend til smooth. Our recipe made enough to fill 8 of these cute
little cups recently purchase at IKEA.
Sorry, taste tester not included ;)

Cute! And those sound really yummy! I love strawberry smoothies.
Those bowls are so cute! I hope you make me some of that yummy stuff when I go over on Friday :)
Could it be made with turbinado, or better yet honey? That would increase the "healthiness" of it even more...
That looks awesome! Thanks for the recipe.
I don't think we have Mountain High yogurt here in Georgia, but I am going to try the recipe. I love how simple it is.
