Simple Fruit Smoothie from Alisa

Here is a simple fruit smoothie that I make in my Vita-mix. It is hard to get my kids to eat healthy, but they LOVE this smoothie — it tastes like a dessert it is so yummy! I would love it if others who have similar recipes would share them!

Fruit Smoothie
1 cup red grapes
4-5 frozen strawberries
1 banana
Sometimes I add milk if I want it to be more liquid.

I add fresh spinach to my smoothie, but it turns the smoothie a different color so my picky kids won’t eat it if it has spinach in it! (sigh)
