I'm excited to tell you that over the next 3 weeks I'm featuring smoothies from some of my favorite blogs.
Be sure to visit the links for recipes.
This week is all about Classics & Favorites.
is a classic,
combining banana, strawberries, and blueberries.
It's so thick, it can double as dessert.
Charlene has a wide variety of recipes on her blog, including some great southern desserts (sugar free even). Take a look at her Favorite Peach Cobbler, Chilled Blackberry Pie, and a southern favorite: Banana Pudding (Charlene's has a couple of twists!).
Paradise Sunrise Smoothie from Cindy
also includes classic smoothie ingredients, but there's also mango to give a tropical feel.
Cindy says this is one of her favorite (or favourite--Cindy is a Canadian blogger) smoothie flavors. Cindy and I go way back, before blogging even. I have tried many of her recipes over the years. Her Savory Popover is super, as is Firehouse Stuffed Chicken, and Caramel Pear Scones.
Very Berry Cherry Vanilla Smoothie from Jamie
would be a favorite with my son--his favorite flavors are vanilla and cherry.
Jamie features recipes that are easy on mom and kid-approved. I think a lot of us can appreciate that! Cowboy Spaghetti and BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Flat Bread Melts are both family-friendly meals. Chili Cheese Dog Nachos are just plain fun. A lot of Jamie's creations are!
Strawberry-Banana Smoothie from Marguerite
@ Cajun Delights
This classic fruit combo is also Marguerite's favorite.
You'll always pass a bon temps at Cajun Delights with video clips of Cajun & Zydeco music that will get you movin'. Marguerite's recipes right out of South Louisiana will make you hungry...like Crab and Shrimp Etouffee and Cajun Baked Ham w/Sugar Cane -Bourbon Glaze. I tried Stuffed Filet Mignon w/ Sherry Mushroom Sauce for Valentine's Day. Ca c'est bon!

Black Beauty Smoothie
is a favorite in my kitchen.
I wish I could say I invented this smoothie, but it comes from Smoothies: 50 Recipes for High-Energy Refreshment by Sara Corpening Whiteford, Lori Lyn Narlock, Mary Corpening Barber and Amy Neunsinger.

ReplyDeleteWonderful round-up
I love smoothies but never make them myself.....
Maybe it's time I should try.
My favorite is strawberry-banana, but I have to say that I'm not very familiar with black/blueberries as we don't have them here fresh.
Your smoothie looks delicious and a special treat. Hope you have a wonderful week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
