Passion Fruit

Another delightful smoothie.  This one Passion Fruit; actually it's a blend of white grape, pineapple, apple and passion fruit.  It's from Welch's 100% Tropical Passion Fruit, and the passion Fruit does dominate the taste.

Usually I do nearly equal portions of milk to juice or near equal.  However lately the flavor has been somewhat disappointing, in part the yogurt is plain, so no added flavors.  So being the mad scientist I am, we reduced the portion of the milk and viola a much better smoothie.

So here it is:

1 cup  Tropical Passion Fruit juice (Welch's 100%)
1/2 cup Whole Milk
about 4-6 ounces plain yogurt (of course with Active cultures)
1 banana

Start blending on low and progressing to whole for about 1 -2 minutes, or till thoroughly blended and frothy.  makes better then 2 servings.  Rates about 7 in taste for me. 


Health tip:  When taking Calcium supplements, take also Vitamin D too or a combination supplement.  This supposedly helps with the absorption ( this hasn't been FDA verified).  We need both for our bones, but Calcium is crucial for preventing or minimizing Osteoporosis.  Of course good natural sources are Broccoli, cheese yogurt, or milk. 

The body also uses Calcium for proper muscle contraction and nerve function.  With the Vitamin D helping the immune system..
