Welcome back! Have you visited our new site, Saving Naturally, where we help you live healthy and spend less?
This household loves smoothies!!!! My husband's affectionate nickname for me (especially when he wants a smoothie, hmmmmm :) ) is the "Smoothie Queen". Last Christmas I was incredibly blessed (and spoiled!) with a Vita-Mix blender to help support our habit (our daily smoothie habit, that is). I'll try to share some of my favorite recipes as I think of them or make them.
Raspberry Pina Colada
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2- 1 cup of coconut milk (depends how much you like coconut) or 1-2 large Tbsp of coconut paste
3/4 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup frozen pineapple
2 frozen bananas (broken into 1/4 pieces, they blend easier)- my daughter added an extra 1/2 banana today and it was fine
honey to taste (1-2 Tbsp.) or Stevia (2-3 packets?)
enough water to get it all moving- probably at least a cup, depends on your blender
any superfoods you want your family to have (ie. flax oil, bee pollen, green foods, ground flax seed, ground sesame or pumpkin seed, etc.- there are so many to choose from! I don't use greens in this smoothie because it ruins the nice color)
Serves 2-3 (my husband and I have a good sized glass, and my almost 3 year old has only a little bit less than us- the 5 mth old gets it vicariously through his milkies)

@Emma, I just peel and chop it up, throw it in a bag and freeze it. It clumps together a bit, but a good bang on the counter usually remedies the problem. :)
