Connecting Women: July 2016

Hubby loves smoothies, and he inspired our son to come up with his own version of a smoothie. My son asked if he could make his own smoothie version. We said yes. I purposely stayed out of the kitchen to allow him to experiment with the ingredients.

After about 5 minutes, he walked out of the kitchen and presented this to me. I was very proud and impressed, so I asked him if we can share his recipe on my blog. (It's very refreshing!) Recipe is below.

Servings: 3-4

Ingredients:

15 strawberries
2 bananas, cut into 7 pieces each
2 cups of Greek yogurt, vanilla flavored

1. Blend the ingredients in a blender for 45 seconds to make thick smoothie.

2. If you want a thinner smoothie, blend for about 1-2 minutes.

Remember, you can add or deduct any of the above ingredients, all depending on your taste buds. Bon appetit!

This year at the festivals Amdur Productions has started a new charity initiative called the Green Ribbon Project. The project connects the festival with an important cause and aims to stimulate art buying at the festival. Participating artists put a green ribbon on a piece of their choice in their booth and when the piece is sold the artist agrees to give 10% of the proceeds to the American Cancer Society, which is the dedicated charity for the North Shore Festival of Art.
