Soft Food

 So I've been dealing with this TMJ nightmare recently and will continue to have to eat soft and liquid foods only for the next three months. After getting over my little pity party, I have decided to take this on as a challenge and a mission! I am going to explore various smoothie and soup recipes and see what my family and I like.
 I'm going to make several smooth soups and freeze individual servings that I can reheat as needed. This will save me from having to turn to pudding all the time. I think I can make the shake mixes too and store them in individual servings. Haven't done that before but, hey, why not try?!
 Today's recipes are:

Strawberry Banana Smoothie
I'm taking a risk and substituting a few of the items in the original recipe for stuff I already have on hand. Frozen berries are super expensive!!! :(
So here's my version. We'll see how it turns out!

1 banana
1/2 C Skim Milk
1 C light plain yogurt
3 T Strawberry Freezer Jam
1 ice cube

Makes 3 servings

DELICIOUS!! I added more ice cubes and that made it thick and frothy! Yum!!
