Fresh Strawberry Smoothie

When I went grocery shopping last week, I forgot to pick up one of Dominic's favorite food items - chicken nuggets. Little by little, I am teaching him how to make his own meals. I have taught him to get the chicken nuggets bag out of the freezer, grab a plate, put 8-10 on the plate and then put it into the microwave. To say he was bummed out that I forgot would be an understatement. I have used the opportunity to come up with some different recipes. This afternoon, when he was telling me he was hungry for lunch, I said, "how about a strawberry smoothie?" He LOVES strawberries, but isn't so "gung-ho," about yogurt, he will absolutely REFUSE to eat it out of the container. Hmm, we moms sometimes have to get creative, so I figured a smoothie was a good way to give him the yogurt and the strawberries at the same time, with Dominic being none the wiser. LOL. Since this recipe makes three cups and both the hubby and Lauren had other plans this afternoon, I joined Dominic for our "strawberry smoothie," lunch! It was so yummy, there was not one drop left!!





Ingredients

6 ounce container Strawberry Greek Yogurt,
  any brand (I used Chobani)
6 ounce container Original Strawberry Yogurt,
  any brand (I used Yoplait)
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
2 cups ice

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until desired consistency. Makes three cups. Super easy, huh?
