Fruit Smoothies

Bountiful Basket items used: Banana, Mango, Plum, Peach, Lime, Pineapple
Tonight we had fruit smoothies with our dinner. I made two different kinds... so I'll list both ways.
Creamy Fruit Smoothie
Combine all these in a blender:
1/2 C heavy whipping cream
About 4 Tbsp Sugar
5 small peaches, peeled and sliced
3 plums peeled and sliced
1 Mango peeled and sliced
2 circles of pineapple (cut top off pineapple and then cut two slices and then take the edges off and cut around the center)
2 bananas (but 1 would be plenty if you're not a huge banana fan)
Juice from 1 lime

It'd be smart to make this one ahead of time and refridgerate for an hour or so to make it colder. Drinking this one led to making a different one with ice instead of cream.
Icee Fruit Smoothie
Combine all the following in a blender:
1 large glass of ice (about 1-2 cups)
5 Tbsp Sugar
1 Mango
1 Banana
5 small peaches
1/2 an entire small pineapple (the rest of what was left from before)
Juice from 1 Lime
This one creates an oranger looking drink that is not as thick as the other one.
I decided to try and freeze it into cubes and then can have them as a treat tomorrow (or might be good in a small cup of sprite)!
