How to Make a Smoothie With a Food Processor

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Pyramid stresses the importance of including a variety of fruits in your daily diet. Unfortunately, busy lifestyles and poor food choices can lead to not getting the recommended daily amount of fruit. Smoothies--thick and frothy beverages made from fruit and yogurt or ice cream--can be a natural and refreshing way to add servings of fruit and dairy to your diet. The sweet and frosty treats can be enjoyed as a mid-day snack, extra treat or meal replacement. One of the varieties of ways to make a smoothie is with a food processor. Add this to my Recipe Box.
