All-Fruit Smoothie

This makes about a liter of smoothie (4-6 servings). I'm trying making some ahead and freezing it in ice-cube trays. One batch fills two-twelve cube trays.  This is one of those, 'takes longer to clean up after' than it takes to make-- which is why I'm experimenting with freezing a batch at the same time I make a batch to drink.

Ingredients
  • 150 g. frozen orange juice concentrate (⅓ of a can)
  • 400 ml water
  • 1 banana
  • 150 g frozen blackberries
  • 150 g frozen blueberries
  • 150 g frozen raspberries

Instructions
  • Set up the blender
  • Open can of orange juice and, while frozen, cut off a 150 g chunk and add to 400 ml of water. (The partial can can be stored in a zipper bag and kept in the freezer. This take up less space than making up the entire can)
  • Put the water, orange juice concentrate and banana in the blender and blend until well mixed
  • Add the frozen fruit in batches until the smoothie is blended to taste and texture. I find it necessary to let the blender rest for a few moments as I'm working, and to stir the mixture to keep the blender from just stirring the bottom half of the mixture.

  1. Wondering if you can put in cups and tablespoons, etc, too for those who don't have a scale. Thanks.
