Still hot? Have some frozen fruit, (dear).

When our child spiked a fever (it's not even winter yet and she's got a fever already?!) I tore through the freezer and made smoothies. She drank the entire cup, loaded herself up with vitamins and antioxidants and cooled herself down, all while asking if it counted as dessert (a  small cookie accompaniment cleared that all up).

Needed:

  • A blender
  • Milk, yogurt, ice cream, soy milk, or soy ice cream, whatever cold milk-like substance suits your fancy
  • Frozen mango
  • Frozen blueberries
  • Frozen strawberries and/or
  • Whatever frozen fruit you like, including slicing up fresh peaches and the like and freezing them ahead of time. 
  • Banana?
  • It's all up to you
All I did was toss in the mango, strawberries and blueberries (all cheaper than fresh, they keep way longer and have almost the exact same vitamins and nutrients), fill 'er up with soy milk and let the blender rip.  And stir.  And blend.  And stir.  Until it was still frozen and frothy and way too good.
