Vanilla-Fruit Smoothie image

Ninety percent of the time, I eat savory breakfasts. But I don't like to impose my will on others (at least not early in the morning), so when there are guests, I tend to make smoothies. I'm a big believer in frozen fruit, especially off season; it's much more flavorful than, say, Chilean peaches.

1/2 frozen banana, optional
2 cups unsweetened frozen fruit: peaches, cherries, blueberries, pineapple or just about anything else

  • Combine everything in a blender. Pulse the machine, then turn it on and purée until smooth. If you're not getting enough action, add juice or water a little at a time until the machine gets a grip. Serve immediately.

The smoothie was a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend adding more liquid, such as milk or juice.

This smoothie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey.
