Cooking Notes
Be sure to buy individually frozen strawberries (preferably sliced) in a plastic bag so they’ll process easily in the blender.
Use any juice blend, but orange-pineapple is especially nice. Plain orange juice also works well, but avoid juice cocktails.
Or use fat-free yogurt.

2 very ripe frozen peeled bananas
1 cup 100 percent fruit juice blend, such as orange-pineapple*
8 ounces fruit-flavored low-fat yogurt, such as blueberry*

What you're saying..
I bought Cheap. Fast. Good! from Amazon a while ago and it's honestly my favorite cookbook EVER! And I own a lot of cookbooks!
The recipes are healthy enough for me and they taste good enough for my husband. I spend practically nothing on groceries anymore and always have something good to make for dinner.
I've never been able to make a weekly menu because I just don't know ahead of time what we're going to be in the mood for, but with frozen cooked meats in the freezer and your recipes, I can always come up with just the right meal.
Thank you!!!!!
