Just Some Recipes

We have found out that home-made smoothies and milk shakes make a wonderful snack and sometimes even a meal, and can be fit into a tight budget. We rarely have ice cream at our house much, anymore. Colt brought over a half gallon the other night to go with our dessert, and left it with us. You can use yogurt instead of ice cream, if you don't have any at the time. Here are two of our newest recipes. We have a lot of other ones that we like, and I will probably put more on here, eventually.

*Peanut Butter Banana Milk Shake*

3 cups of milk, or 1 cup powdered milk and 3 cups water
2 or more Tablespoons peanut butter
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1-2 ripe bananas

Makes about 5 cups, or 4 servings. Put all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. Add more ice cream, or vanilla yogurt, if too thin. If you add chocolate syrup it's a Banana Split Shake, but we never have that either...


*Orange Sherbet Milk Shake*

2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 cup chilled orange juice
1/2 cup milk
1 cup vanilla ice cream
a few teaspoons sugar or honey, to taste

Makes about 2 1/2 cups, or 2-3 servings. Put all ingredients into blender and process until smooth!
