Dinner fruit smoothie
Ingredients:
2 c. of plain yogurt
1 bag of frozen strawberries
2 overripe bananas
honey
2 Tbs of ground flax seeds
I have a super blender, the BlendTec. It's the same one I used when I worked over the summer at the coffee shop in a Barnes and Noble (we used it to make frappaccinos. I still don't get the appeal. Why not just eat coffee ice cream and call it a day?) If you don't have a super strong blender, let the strawberries thaw a little and chop them up a bit. Not too much though.
Throw all the ingredients except the honey into the blender. Blend on the highest level for about 10-15 seconds, and then finish at a medium level until smooth. Serve in a whatever cups you like, and stir in less than a teaspoon of honey into each cup. Makes about 3-4 servings.
Since Blokey and I make our own yogurt (another generous and awesome wedding gift), I think we can consider this a quite homemaid dinner.
The smoothie texture quickly melted into liquid, as it was so hot out, but it was still pretty good.

I love breakfast for dinner. And I'm sure you've thought of it, but I like to keep glass beer mugs in my freezer for smoothies and other cold drinks on super-hot days. It's only a temporary fix but it helps a little to keep things cold.
I hope the heat breaks soon for you.
Mmmm, smoothies! Thanks for reminding me how much I love them. I used to eat one every morning for breakfast while on Weight Watchers, and it probably wouldn't kill me to get back to that.
I never got the appeal of frappuccinos either, or for that matter, paying $5 for such a thing.
DMed: I didn't think about frosted glasses! I will, though, for the next smoothie dinner!
Anne, we can make smoothies for brekkie when I'm in town.
