Strawberry Smoothie

(including printable "picture" recipe cards)

I included the Chocolate Soda because that's what the girls like to drink, but if you really want a drink for "the mommy" I think a Strawberry Smoothie is a much better choice. 

This drink is low in fat, high in flavour and rich in vitamins.  (to all of my American friends out there, I finally broke down and started spelling color without the "U" so you could find things with the search feature, but I still spell flavour the "right way" *grin*)

The frozen fruit makes the drink nice and slushy.  If you don't have frozen fruit, subsitute 1/2 cup of ice for 1/2 cup of the apple juice.

You can add 1 Tbsp of ice cream or frozen yogurt if you like, but I prefer it without.

RECIPE

(this is the same recipe as on the cards, but in writing only... I thought some folks might like to preview it).

bullet1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
bullet1 sliced frozen ripe banana
bullet1 cup apple juice

Peel and slice the banana (if it isn't already).  

Put strawberries, banana and apple juice into a blender.

OPTIONAL:  Add 1 Tbsp vanilla ice cream.

Blend and pour into a glass.

Serve.

MATERIALS TO MAKE THE CARDS:

bulletprinter
bulletpaper
bulletscissors
bullettape or glue
bulletOPTIONAL:  something to color with (if you use the B&W version)
bulletOPTIONAL:  thin cardboard or index card
bulletOPTIONAL:  clear contact paper (you can purchase at the office supply store.  It's $5 Cdn for a big tube of it where we live)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING THE CARDS:

bulletprint out the template of choice.  I like to print it on a heavy paper (I always cut the edges off of construction paper to make them 8 1/2 x 11 and use that)
  
bulletCut out the template along the outside line.  (if you accidentally cut down the middle it isn't a big deal since we'll be gluing the two halves together anyways)
  
bulletFold down the middle to make a 4 x 6 card.
  
bulletOPTIONAL:  cut a 4x6 piece out of thin cardboard (old cereal boxes!) and slide between the two halves of the recipe card.
  
bulletGlue or tape the halves together.
  
bulletOPTIONAL.  Cover both sides with clear contact paper to make the recipe card last longer.

TEMPLATES:

bulletClose the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
   
bulletSet page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP in most browsers).
