Alright, alright, let’s talk about this apple juice strawberry banana smoothie thing. My grandkids, they love this stuff. Always beggin’ me, “Grandma, make us that smoothie!” So, I figured, why not? It ain’t rocket science, you know. Just throw some stuff in a blender and whirr it up.
First off, you gotta get yourself some apples. Now, I ain’t talkin’ about them fancy, shiny apples from the store. I like them good ol’ apples, maybe a little bruised, you know, the ones with flavor. You wash ’em good, cut ’em up, and juice ’em. Or, if you’re lazy like me sometimes, just buy some apple juice. Make sure it ain’t got too much sugar, though. That stuff’ll rot your teeth faster than a squirrel can bury a nut.
Next up, strawberries. Oh, I love strawberries! The redder the better, I say. And the smell! Makes my mouth water just thinkin’ about it. Wash them good too, take off them green tops, and toss ’em in the blender. Don’t be stingy with the strawberries, they’re the best part!
- Wash the apples
- Cut the apples
- Juice the apples or use store bought apple juice
Then comes the bananas. Now, bananas, they gotta be just right. Not too green, not too mushy. You know, that perfect yellow with just a little bit of brown spots. That’s when they’re sweetest. Peel ’em, chuck ’em in. Easy peasy.
And here’s a little secret, don’t tell nobody. I sometimes sneak in a little bit of yogurt. Yeah, yogurt! Makes it all creamy and smooth. The kids don’t even notice. They just gobble it up. I use that plain yogurt, the kind without all them fake flavors and sugars. Just plain and simple.
So, you got your apples, or apple juice, your strawberries, your bananas, and maybe a little yogurt. Now what? Well, you put it all in the blender, that’s what! And then you blend it up. Not too long, not too short. Just until it’s all smooth and creamy, like a milkshake. You might need to add a little bit of water or ice, if it’s too thick. Just eyeball it, you know. You’ll figure it out.
This apple juice strawberry banana smoothie, it ain’t just for kids, you know. I like it myself, especially on a hot day. It’s coolin’ and refreshin’, and it fills you up. Better than eatin’ a bunch of junk food, that’s for sure.
Why this smoothie is good for you? Well, it’s got fruit, right? Fruit is good for you. Apples got fiber, strawberries got vitamins, bananas got potassium. And yogurt, well, yogurt’s got that good stuff for your tummy. So, it’s a healthy treat, you know. Better than them sugary sodas and candy bars the kids are always beggin’ for.
And let me tell you, making this smoothie ain’t expensive. You can buy fruit on sale, you can use frozen fruit, you can even use leftover fruit that’s about to go bad. Just don’t use no moldy fruit, okay? That ain’t good for nobody. So, it’s a cheap and easy way to get your fruits and veggies.
My grandkids, they can’t get enough of this stuff. They come runnin’ in from playin’ outside, all sweaty and hot, and the first thing they ask for is a smoothie. And I’m happy to make it for ’em. It makes me feel good to know they’re eatin’ somethin’ healthy, instead of fillin’ up on junk. Plus, it’s kinda fun to make. I like watchin’ all them fruits get blended up together. It’s like magic!
So, there you have it. My secret recipe for the best apple juice strawberry banana smoothie you ever tasted. It ain’t fancy, it ain’t complicated, but it’s good. And that’s all that matters. So go ahead, give it a try. Your grandkids, and your tummy, will thank you.
And one more thing, don’t be afraid to experiment. Maybe add a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Maybe some blueberries, some raspberries, some mango. The possibilities are endless! Just have fun with it, you know. That’s the most important part.
