The Bean loves smoothies, as I mentioned in this post.
I was buying them at restaurants and coffee shops until I realized how EASY they were to make.
I make them for him nearly every day. I know he's getting all his fruits that way.
Hand him a bowl of fruit, you'll come back to a full bowl of fruit.
Hand him a smoothie, you'll come back to a, HEY MOM, IS THERE ANYMORE? shout.
The original recipe I posted it good for a host of fruits.
The norm that I make for him is Strawberry Banana or Strawberry Banana Blueberry.
I've also thrown in grapes.

For this one, I went way outside his normal box and made it with peaches & honey.
It made for a tasty change.
Here's what you need:
1 peach (or nectarine)- peeled, pit removed & sliced
1 banana (also peeled ;)
1/3 cup yogurt*
1/3 cup of milk**
1 Tablespoon honey
splash of vanilla
4 ice cubes
(mine are the 1/2 moon size from my ice maker)

In a blender/processor that can chop ice:
blend until you stop hearing the ice clink around. Usually about 1-2 minutes.

Taste, you can add more honey if you need.
*for this recipe you can use plain yogurt, peach, vanilla, or honey
also note if you use Greek Yogurt, you may need a little more milk as it is thicker.
I prefer Greek yogurt. I love Greek Gods Yogurt.
**use any milk you like, Fat Free, Skim, 2%, Whole, soy, etc.
I actually used Almond Milk for the one in the photo.

You can adjust the ratio of milk/yogurt for the consistency you like, this is how
the Bean prefers his. It's not too thick, not too thin.
This makes one large smoothie or 2 small smoothies.
The Bean drinks it all.
ALL.
