Like all good bartenders have a secret book for making drinks, smoothie makers have a book to work from as well. This book gives you background on the smoothie, recipes from the author, and recipes from the pros like Smoothie King, Jamba Juice, and Juice It Up!.

The ease of making a smoothie. The book breaks it down for you.

Create my own and that is what I did.

Like with the Ben & Jerry's ice cream book, this one made me hungry. Smoothies are also very nutritious.

Smoothies are delicious and a great form of nutrition.

Here is my own recipe:



Cranberry Cola Strawberry Smoothie



4 oz. Cranberry Juice

4 oz. Cola

4 good sized strawberries, sliced

1 Cup frozen nonfat yogurt

1 1/4 Cup ice



Pour juice and cola into blender. Add strawberries, then yogurt, and ice. Mash all ingredients down and blend.



I threw this together with items I had around the house. You can do the same if you follow the list of juice, fruit, frozen yogurt and ice.
