Knock-off Jamba Juice

My kids love Jamba Juice - as do my husband and I, but I don't love that it costs a family of 4 ten dollars to get smoothies.  So when my kids ask for it I take out some of my frozen stash and whip it up at home!  You can really add anything you like, here are some of our staples:

Strawberries
Blueberries
Blackberries
Raspberries
Mango
Orange
Apple
Yogurt - any flavor
OJ
Milk

When fruit starts to turn "over ripe" I stick bananas in the freezer, slice strawberries and freeze them, and freeze any type of berries.  Then I keep them in the freezer ready to go, this makes things easy and VERY cost effective when I need them in a snap.  Here is what we made ours with today: frozen strawberries, frozen banana and milk.
Blend up in the blender and pour into cups! Happy Mommy and happy customers!
