Smoothies part 2

I've experimented with a few types of smoothies now. Since the blender is a pain to wash I started making a couple of batches then freezing them for later. Each night I eat one to get a boost of nutrients. Here are some combos. Post your own suggestions too! Blueberry, strawberry, banana, cucumber Strawberry, raspberry, cucumber Apple, pear, strawberry

Pulled Turkey Sandwiches

This is a really easy way to make a meal (and leftovers!).

1 Jenni-O turkey fillet - we used the apple wood flavor
1C organic chicken broth
Hawaiian rolls
BBQ sauce
shredded co-jack

Place the fillet (it will come in two pieces) and chicken broth in a crock pot on low.  Cook for 4-5 hours until cooked through.  Remove and cut or shred with a steak knife (this works best).  Put about 1 oz on each roll, top with 1/2T of BBQ sauce and a little cheese.  Total calorie count per sandwich?  Approximately 175.  Eat up!

Smoothies

One of my co-workers has been expounding on the benefits of home made smoothies.  Granted, hers smell "interesting" and look like swamp juice, but I get her point.  So today when I was craving something icy and sweet I decided to attempt a smoothie. 

1/4-1/2 C lemonade
1C raspberries
1C halved strawberries
ice

blend well until smooth.  add ice to create ideal thickness.  Use less lemonade and more fruit if you want it sweeter.  This made two large smoothies, so I stuck one in the freezer for later.
