Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Frozen Bananas
Frozen Strawberries
2 Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla
Enough rice milk so it will blend to desired consistency if you like it thick and milkshake like use less.

Blend all ingredients together until smooth. Sometime we add raw cashews and/or carob chips and gently mix them in. I usually use 4 or 5 frozen bananas and 5-8 strawberries.


Peanut Butter "Chocolate" Smoothie

Frozen Bananas
2 - 3 Tablespoons Honey (depending on how rich you want it)
1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional, great source of calcium)
2-3 Tablespoon Peanut Butter
Enough rice milk so it will blend well
1/4 cup Carob chips
Handful of peanuts (optional)

Mmmmm! Tastes like a peanut butter cup, but is so healthy you can have it for breakfast!
Just blend together and enjoy.

Fresh Fruit Smoothie

10 Strawberries
1 Banana
1 Apple Cored and chopped (if want, peel)
