SO Delicious smoothies

YOU NEED:

1/2 cup SO Delicious Coconut Milk (find at Organic food markets, plain or Vanilla)

6oz container plain yogurt (you can use any flavor, brand, greek etc.)

1 cup of FROZEN fruit (I buy the *Dole ready fruit in frozen section of store, they come in varieties, all have been so good)

Blend all ingredients together untill smooth.  If you would like it thicker or thinner, just reduce or increase Coconut milk. 

Notes: If you have never tried Coconut milk, it a great Dairy Free, healthy alternative to milk, and has a nice settle sweetness to it, which is great in these smoothies.

It's best to use Frozen fruit, rather then fresh fruit, as it will keep you from having to use *ice, and blends it cold and smooth.

I played with this recipe when I have wanted some healthier options in the morning and very refreshing after my morning workouts! I have never really craved smooties untill now. YUM!

Discovered this recipe in looking for a Zucchini Bread, with all the Zucchini I get from my mother's garden every year... this is definitely a hit and favorite with my friends and family.  The Chocolate Chips and Orange zest give a delicious sweetness. One of my favorites, this easy recipe makes 2 nice big loaves, one for you and one to share!!
