Strawberry Smoothies

Strawberry yogurt smoothies with berries from the garden. Macerate the prepared berries with about a 1/2 cup of sugar. Add 1 cup of vanilla yogurt and a bit of milk. Add ice cubes. Blend until desired thickness. Add more ice, if needed.

We had leftovers, so tomorrow, we'll have frozen strawberry treats.

Taste Test: U-Swirl Yogurt

A new self-serve frozen yogurt place has opened along Eagle Road: U-Swirl. A long list of flavors to choose from, including coffee, red velvet cake and cheesecake. Then, you can select toppings that you also serve up for yourself. The yogurt is weighed to determine payment. My daughter filled her container almost full. I filled a container like the one above about 1/3 full of "cake batter" flavored yogurt, and added strawberries, pineapple and whipped cream. My daughter opted for lots of sprinkles. Cost: About $8 for those two servings.
