Brazil Limeaid - Melody Aanderud

Brazilian Limeade
brought by Melody A.

2 limes
½ c. sugar
3 T. sweetened condensed milk
3 c. water
4-5 strawberries (fresh or frozen)
4-5 mango pieces (if frozen, thaw slightly in microwave)
Ice

Wash limes and cut off ends. Slice into quarters. Put limes (with peel still on), sugar, milk, water, strawberries and mango in blender or smoothie maker. If you have room, you can add ice, or just serve over ice. Pulse the blender (do not blend) until the chunks are about dime size. Strain juice into a pitcher and throw away chunks. Slice a lime and let float on top. (Variation: double everything except sugar.)

Yogurt Smoothie
brought by Danyal Niedermeyer

Frozen strawberries
Frozen bananas
Lowfat vanilla yogurt, about 1/2 cup
Lowfat milk (amount depends on how thick you want the smoothie)
2 T. honey
1 tsp vanilla
Lowfat vanilla icecream/frozen yogurt, about 2 cups (again depending on thickness)
Ice cubes

Puree in food processor until smooth.
You can add other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, etc, to try something new.
Use frozen fruit to create the frozen smoothie texture.

**This recipe can be adapted depending on the dominant flavors of fruit that you want and the thickness & texture you desire for the smoothie.
