This will be the last in my series of summertime treats. Smoothies have become very popular in the last couple of years. If you have a blender, you can mix one up in a matter of minutes. You can also make a very healthy treat or substitute for lunch with a smoothie. Here is what you need: Ice Milk and/or yogurt Flavor- fresh fruit, powdered nutrition substitute (whey, chocolate, vanilla, etc), juices, (whatever your favorite is). Mix all together and pour into a glass and you have a nice and cool treat. What is your favorite flavor of smoothies? I love strawberry and mixed fruits best. Photo: Pixabay

@kareng Yes and it tastes really good too which is more to the point, I won't drink it if it doesn't taste good.

@kareng I never made a smoothie but had one. I am more of a milkshake person. I had an orange juice one.

@kareng I still prefer a milkshake to a smoothie. I like to have ice cream so that is good to have as a milkshake or just ice cream alone.

I use frozen strawberries in milk. You can skip the ice if you freeze the fruit.

That's true on the ice. You have to be careful and experiment.
