Three Things Thursday: Frozen Favorites (Healthy Frozen Drinks)

I’m not a “food blogger” and my food photos may not whet your appetite, but I do have some favorite frozen recipes that I think are worth sharing. I promise they are all simple, nutritious and delicious. Just in time for summer here are three healthy frozen drinks!

“Frozen” Yogurt
2/3 cup frozen blueberries
6 oz. container non-fat yogurt (plain, or mild flavor like vanilla)
1 package Equal (if you use plain yogurt)
Blend all in mini-blender and spoon into bowl to serve.

Watermelon Slushie
2 cups cubed watermelon (seedless or remove seeds)
8 oz (3/4 can) lemon-lime soda (sugar-free or regular) or sparkling water
1 Tbsp lime juice
crushed ice to taste

Puree in blender and pour into tall glasses to serve.  This is my favorite way to use up less-than-great watermelon.

 Clean-Out-The-Refridgerator Smoothie
6 oz. container of yogurt (any flavor) or 1 scoop vanilla protein powder + 1/2 cup water
3/4 cup diced fruit (usually strawberries slightly past their prime)
1 sliced banana (usually one day-short of being destined for banana bread)
1/2 cup milk
1-2 packages of Equal (2 if my son is watching–he likes it sweet)
Puree in blender and pour into tall glasses to serve.  This is not a unique recipe, but it is a family favorite!

We have been enjoying lots of smoothies since I got this single serving blender for Mother’s Day. (It’s OK, I asked for it!)

My son is making smoothies almost every day for an after-dinner snack–a great way for him to fill up on fruit and yogurt.
