Preparation

Apple, banana, cinnamon and date fruit smoothie is great warm weather treat for breakfast, dessert or for a snack. We prepare our fruit slushies in our Vita-Mix, but they can be made in any high speed blender. This recipe will make 2 servings, and takes only 5-10 minutes to prepare. We think of slushies as one of our fun foods.

Wash the apple and remove the core.

Peel the banana.

Place the fruit, cinnamon in the blender, cover and run at high speed until it is smooth. Remove the cover and add the ice, cover and run the blender at high speed until the contents are smooth  It will most likely be necessary to tamp or mix the slushie to insure that all the ice cubes are finely chopped.  If your blender does not have a tamper rod, stop the machine, mix the slushie, cover and run at high speed again until the slushie is smooth.

The slushie can be made thicker by adding more ice, or thinner by reducing the quantity of ice.

Serve immediately and Enjoy!

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
