TROPICAL FRUIT SMOOTHIE

Steps:

• Place half of all ingredients in blender (except the soda!); cover and process until blended.
• Stir in 1/4 c soda and pour into chilled glasses then serve immediately.
• Repeat with the 2nd halve of all ingredients.

FRUIT SMOOTHIE WITH CLUB SODA

Steps:

• Blend the fruit, yogurt (or substitute), and banana together.
• Gradually add the club soda until you reach the desired consistency.
• NOTES: If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor for the berries and banana, then stir in the rest of the ingredients. This is also great to freeze and unthaw later.
