Very Berry Banana Smoothie

-

1 Large riped banana, chopped
1 c. Frozen strawberries, chopped
1 c. Low-fat raspberry yogurt
1 c. Milk
2 tbsp Honey

Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Blend on slow-medium speed until smooth.

My comments:

This was a yummy yummy YUMMY smoothie!! It's simple to make, it's healthy and it's very filling. I saved 1/2 of the smoothie and brought it to work the next day, it still tasted just as it came right out of the blender!

I also tried adding a cup of apples (1 Macintosh apple, peeled and chopped) to the smoothie mix. It tasted good but the apples felt lumpy in the smoothie so the texture wasn't so great.

Thai Curry Stir-Fried Rice

3 c. Cooked rice* 2-3 tbsp Vegetable oil 1 Green onions, chopped 2-3 cloves Garlic, minced 3 Eggs 1/2 Fresh pineapple, cut into small chunks 3/4 c. Vegetables** 1 tbsp Sesame oil 2 tbsp Soya sauce 2 tsp Curry powder 1-2 tsp Thai curry paste * Freshly cooked rice has too much moisture and it is too soggy to fry; therefore, it is best to use leftover rice. If you don't have leftover rice, you can cool freshly cooked rice to room temperature and then place the rice in the refrigerator, uncovered, for a minimum of 1 hour to reduce the moisture. ** You can use any vegetables you like. I used frozen vegetable mix because it was the easiest thing to do and I thaw the vegetables to room temperature. Alternatively, you can chop up fresh vegetables into small pieces (eg. carrots, mushrooms, peppers, etc.), pre-cook them on the frying pan and drain the excess liquid. Drizzle 1 tbsp of oil to the rice and break up the rice into grains with a fork. Set aside. Stir together the soya sauce,
