Freezer Fruit for Dinner or Snack

This episode has been published and can be heard everywhere your podcast is available.In this episode we talk about adding Frozen fruit, dried or canned fruit to meals during the summer. Here are some drinkable/frozen fruit recipesFor a family of four:Fill up the blender with frozen fruit then add enough liquid to barely cover the fruit. Which can be milk or a milk substitute, juice or water If sweetener is desired, then add two tablespoons of sugar or a tablespoon of jam,For a smoother texture or creaminess, either a splash of heavy whipping cream or a banana.Our favorite Strawberry SmoothieFill Blender with frozen strawberriesAdd a tablespoon of strawberry jam or 2 tbsp of sugarAdd milk to just under the strawberry line, then splash with heavy whipping cream. Blend.If it will be for dessert, I put pretty drizzles of Hershey syrup on the cup or glass-like coffee places do and squirt heavy whipping cream on top. Date ShakeAnother option I like to make is date shakes. I buy pitted dates and blend them in the blender with milk and ice. It takes 4-5 dates per 9 oz tumbler cup. I serve them in smaller cups because of how sweet they are. They are so refreshingly sweet and simple. 3 ingredients; you can’t beat that. Tropical JuliusLastly, if you like a tropical Julius, then try this shake. Fill your blender with tropical pineapple/mango frozen fruit mix add 3 tablespoons of orange juice concentrate and water so it barely covers the fruit. Then add one envelope of dream whip then blend. Mix till smooth. You can use a can of pineapple but then add ice.Serve smoothies in a 16 oz red party cups that can be thrown away after use, rather than using glasses or cups that require cleaning. If there is any leftovers in the blender, pour any into 9 oz disposable clear plastic party tumblers and place in the freezer. When the drink is frozen, I stack these prepared mini-smoothies in a gallon freezer bag for my child to enjoy as a healthy snack later. Thanks for listening.careerhomemakers.com
