Morning Smoothie

I love my blender. It makes so much good stuff, like hummus and milkshakes. But the main reason I love my blender so much is smoothies. I love smoothies so much. They are so tasty and so easy, and relatively healthy (they're packed with sugar, that I admit, but at least it's sugar from fruit and not from soda or something).

And, I can say from experience that it goes fantastically well with toasted multigrain bread drizzled with honey.

Morning Fruit Smoothie

1/4 cup frozen peaches
1/4 cup frozen blackberries
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1 medium sized banana (if you have huge bananas, just put what looks good and eat the rest while you blend)
1/3 cup plain yogurt (I use greek, but that's just cause I love greek yogurt. Any other yogurt would be fine as well)
1/3-1/2 cup juice (I used currant juice here, but I also love using fresh orange juice when I have it)

Put all the ingredients in your blender, blend until smooth. It may require some stirring (I make my smoothies thick).

Variations:

Let's face it, this is a smoothie. You can make it however you like. Use frozen blueberries or mangos or whatever else you want. If you like thinner smoothies, add more juice. Go crazy, it's your breakfast.

As my recommendation today, I'm going to show you one of my favorite site  to check out music. It's called la blogotheque, and they do this thing called "concerts a emporter" (which translates to "take away show") where bands perform songs randomly around a city. Occasionally, they wander the streets, other times they congregate in a park, or on a roof. This time, with Yeasayer, the journey spans a subway ride to a rather mysterious apartment with a piano. Though it was rather chaotic, it seemed like a worthwhile adventure.
