Summer Fruit Smoothies

I was thinking about fruit tonite and how much I love smoothies this time of the year in Florida, it's so hot here and humid so a cold smoothie calms down not only my internal temperature but my mood too. And, if I'm going to indulge on a cookie or bun, washing it down with a glass of banana or strawberry smoothie is the perfect end to a lovely snack. Keep reading for the recipes for all three of my favorites: Banana, Strawberry, and Kiwi.
