soda, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center. In a separate bowl,

On these hot summer days, instead of Ice
Cream, have a delicious (and nutritious) fruit smoothie. They are super easy to
make, fun to improvise, and a great way to get a few of your fruit servings out
of the way.
Fruit Smoothie
(For one person)
About 1 Cup of mixed frozen berries
½ to 1 banana
About 1 Cup of orange juice
Put the berries in the bottom of the
blender and completely cover with orange juice. Let sit a couple of minutes to
soften the berries a bit. Add banana and blend until smooth. For a creamier
shake, use about ¼ c orange juice concentrate and cover berries with 1 cup of
milk. Of course there are about a million other variations, but this should
get you going in the right direction.
Gazpacho
2 servings
This is a super-healthy, super-easy soup
that is perfect for summertime because it is served cold and the vegetables are
in season.
½ Red Bell-Pepper
1-2 Cloves Garlic
1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
Splash of vinegar
¼ of a hothouse (English) cucumber
Sprig of fresh parsley
Put all ingredients in blender and blend
until smooth, but still has some texture. For variation, you can serve over
baby shrimp or as a chip dip.
