During this pregnancy I have craved these smoothies and we have them almost every night after dinner. Perhaps high calorie, but very quick/easy plus a good way to top off the day with a huge dose of nutrients. All three of us like them (and even the unborn baby seems to do a little dance when I've had one).
Combine in blender (roughly/there is infinite room for variabliity):
1 banana
4 slices frozen peaches
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 1/2 cups milk (more or less to adjust desired thickness)
Blend until smooth and enjoy with a straw.
Today I am experimenting with making pop-sickles from this smoothy blend.

We are committed to helping our family consume healthy foods and lead a healthy lifestyle. Also- we work full time, so our menus and activities need to fit into that framework. Since this is something that is constantly on our minds, we figured maybe we should post some of our ideas and perhaps get other peoples input and suggestions for improvement (particularly in the recipe category).

I craved smoothies all throughout my pregnancy too! I like to add a scoop of protein powder, and plain yogurt (just a little, or the taste can overpower everything else), or a tasty juice like POM, plus ice to make it really cold. Funny, I still have a few of my favorite recipes written on post-its and stuck inside our cereal cabinet!
By the way, what a great idea for a blog!
Good idea about getting some protein in those smoothies. I will have to try your ideas! Thanks!!!!!
