Recipe Collection: Strawberry-Lime Smoothie

Written by Kate Tietje

When I was a little kid, my family always broke out the strawberry daiquiris around the holidays.  Some years, they were virgin, and I was allowed to have one.  Some years, they weren’t…and I might have gotten a small sip.  These were always made with a frozen mix, though, which included corn syrup and all kinds of other junk.

Eventually, I realized that these yummy drinks were just a combination of strawberry and lime.  Of course!

I set out to re-create the drink as a healthy “smoothie” for the whole family.  And they do — my kids start cheering and jumping when they find out I have made a smoothie!

If you were so inclined, you could replace half to 3/4 of the water with rum, obviously for adults only!  (3/4 cup rum should be about 1 oz. per serving.)  I prefer the virgin version personally…just as yummy, no need to limit how much I have!
