Very berry smoothie

I made this smoothie on Sunday to jump start the cookie making day with my friend Joyce. I purchased mostly frozen fruits because fresh fruit is quite expensive this time of year (where I live). You can add any kind of yogurt you want; greek, goat's, Activia, Weight Watchers — whatever you prefer. It's a tasty addition to add to your morning routine. This recipe makes 4 to 5 servings.

Very Berry Smoothie
INGREDIENTS
1 cup blackberries, raspberries and blueberries, frozen or fresh
11 medium strawberries, frozen or fresh
1/2 ripe banana
2 cups crushed ice
12 oz nonfat yogurt, vanilla or berry flavored
3/4 cup to 1 1/2 cups almond milk

DIRECTIONS
Add fruit, ice, yogurt and 3/4 cup almond milk into a blender and blend until smooth. Add more milk in intervals until you reach desired consistency.

Pink punch

Here's the start of many recipes I used for the baby shower. I searched extensively for a punch recipe to make. As much as I love sherbet, I was looking for a drink without it. I found this recipe but don't remember where. I went to so many Web sites, I didn't keep track of it. I put my own spin on this one though. It's a tad on the sweet side, but I think that's what a punch should taste like. A squeeze of lemon would make it even better.

Pink Punch
INGREDIENTS
1 can frozen pink lemonade
1 can frozen pineapple juice
1 small jar maraschino cherries with juice
2 two-liters 7-up
1/2 lemon, squeezed plus thin slices

DIRECTIONS
Mix all ingredients together and voila, pink punch! Serve immediately. Cut the lemon into thin rounds to float for eye appeal. Several hours before making the punch, freeze a round mold filled with a small amount of water and a few tbsp. of maraschino cherry juice to keep the punch chilled.
