6. Smoothies ...

I love the smoothies you can buy at the shopping mall, but I've heard that they're so high in calories and fat. So, I make my own at home. This is a great way to use up fruit that almost overripe, and I can make them to completely match my tastes at the time! I also love to freeze extras in popsicle molds so I'll have cool treats on hot days. Here are some great smoothie recipes.
