I just made my first fruit smoothie and it is yummy! It made 2 cups and I froze about 3/4 of it for popsicles. I'll edit and let you know how they turn out.

1/2 c plain yogurt
1/3 c frozen blueberries
1/2 of a very ripe banana
the juice of one small orange--it was about 3.5 ozs, I could have squeezed more I'm sure, but my wrist is sore today.
1 tbsp honey
1 cup of crushed iced.

This is the best non-alcoholic punch I've ever had - it beats the pants off what most people seem to make around here: juice, sparkling water and sherbet.

Strawberry Banana Punch

(it makes a LOT - I used this for big parties. Cut it in half if you have fewer than 30 people!)

16 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 10 oz. boxes of frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed enough to blend up
6 ripe bananas
4 12-oz cans of lemonade concentrate
4 2-liter bottles of lemon-lime pop, chilled

Dissolve the sugar in the water, set aside and chill in a large bowl or stock pot.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, bananas and lemonade.
Combine the water and strawberry mixture.
Combine water/strawberry mixture with lemon-lime pop as you need it (it's best to not mix it up all at once, but rather do it in small batches to keep the pop fizzy).
