fresh fruit

Sometimes I make a fruit drink for the kids to have with their breakfast. It is easy to make and gets a lot of fruit into them. I usually just throw what I have into a blender, but I tried to take notes today so I could write a recipe for the blog.

fruit drink

1 pound strawberries, stem removed and cut in half
2 bananas
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon honey

Put everything in the blender and blend until mixed. If it is to think, just add a little more milk and blend.

five a day

I know that we go through a lot of produce every week. But until yesterday I never realized just how much fruit the kids eat each day. For some reason I took note of what I gave out. From breakfast until about 3:00 pm I handed out 1 pound of strawberries, 4 bananas, 4 apples, 3 yellow plums (have your tried these? they are really good.), and 1 whole melon. I think I can assume that the kids are getting their five a day.
