Catherine, correct me if I’m wrong… but I think this is how it went.

The first time I met my dear friend Catherine, she had just moved into my hall (I was a Resident Assistant) as a freshman in college. She knew that there was a no-hotplate rule in our residence hall, and concerned, asked me if blenders were allowed. She told me she was addicted to making smoothies and REALLY hoped that blenders were okay to have in the dorm. They were, and she was happy.

Until she realized that her roomie was a messy athlete who never washed her stinky work-out/practice clothes. But that’s another story.

Anyway, Catherine, I thought of you while I zipped up this smoothie in the blender!

• 1 and 1/2 cups vanilla yogurt
• 2 cups frozen fruit (I used strawberries)
• 1/2 cup frozen juice (I used this juice pop thing) or you can just use some juice and some ice
• 1 and 1/2 cups fresh fruit (I used cantaloupe)

Throw stuff into the blender and blend it.

For me, the cantaloupe was an afterthought, or I could’ve blended it all at once. But I didn’t…

Yum!  I added a little slice of melon to the guy’s glass, to be cute. But he didn’t notice or if he did, he didn’t say anything. So sad. But he did really like the smoothie.

Enjoy! Try switching up the fruits, or using ice cream instead of yogurt for a more milkshake-y texture and flavor.
