The Best Mom!

I'm the "Best Mom" as quoted by Payton this morning after trying my homemade smoothies.  She just loves these smoothie mixes by yoplait that I bought a while back on a great deal.  The things are normally like 4 dollars and no way I'm I paying that for them.  I think I got them for around 80 cents.  So I decided I would make my own.  With Strawberries on sale at Fry's this week for 88 cents a pack.  What a great time to stock up.  So I bought strawberries and bananas and cut them up and flash froze them.  I also bought low fat vanilla yogurt and froze it in little chucks.  This morning we give it a try and it got two thumbs up!!  Today I will spend time bagging them up so we just have to pull it out of the freezer dump in mixer with some milk and be good to go.  I'm so glad it worked!  I also made freezer jam this week, first batch didn't set up so we will have some ice cream topping but I think the second set worked.  I was going to take pictures of the whole smoothie process but forgot so I promise to next time.

smoothies are the best even when you need to throw a little extra fiber in their diet flax seed in it as well is great I also put a little honey in them sometimes....my girls love them too!!
