Speedy Smoothies For Breakfast or Dessert...

My neighbour's daughter Mina recently discovered the joys of the Magic Bullet, a high-speed blender. They purchased it to make smoothies to increase their fruit and milk intake. I learned not only are they blending drinks for breakfast but interestingly, also for dessert. What a cool and healthier concept- smoothies could totally be a dessert alternative- liquid dessert! On the morning of FRD2014, Mina blended a delicious smoothie using Greek yoghurt, strawberries, blueberries, banana, plum and milk; this was super quick to make and hearty enough to get her through the busy morning at school. I have a Magic Bullet and am now inspired to use it more often for breakfast and to concoct some fun dessert-flavoured drinks- Peaches and Cream Smoothie anyone?

Refreshingly satisfying!
