30-Second Smoothie

The 30-Second Smoothie! Toss the ingredients for this smoothie into a blender, and 30 seconds later you have a refreshing and nourishing treat. 

This 30-Second Smoothie is for those days when you and your kids are too hot to eat anything and just want to cool off. 

Toss a banana, some yogurt, some ice cubes, and juice into a blender and process it enough to crush the ice, and pour the ingredients into a glass and add a straw. Breakfast. Done.

Doesn't it seems like school is starting so much earlier these days? I'm from southern California, where going back to school used to happen after Labor Day, around the 10th of September. Even so, we always had a major heat wave right after going back to school, which lasted all through September. It was so annoying that I couldn't wear my new "back to school" clothes because of the heat. First world problems.

I'm pretty sure the new earlier start dates have something to do with the timing of the AP exams, as well as wanting to end semesters before the Christmas break. While, as a student, I would have hated returning to school so early, but not having to worry about finals over Christmas break would have made it worth it. 

Which brings us to these smoothies! When you or your kiddos are too cranky to eat, and just need something cooling, try these smoothies.

Ingredients in a 30-second smoothie:

For these 30-second smoothies, I used orange yogurt, a banana, some orange juice, and ice cubes. Of course you can substitute any flavor yogurt. You can also add some additional seasonal fruit such as peaches, strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. 

To blend the smoothies, I used a mini blender. It's so nice to not have to drag out the big blender when I'm just making one or two smoothies (or milkshakes).
