Raspberry Banana Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1/2 pint raspberries
• 1 Tbsp. oat milk or almond milk or rice milk

Put banana, raspberries and oat milk in the blender or food processor and blend. You can double or triple the recipe if you have friends visiting.

When you have finished most of your smoothie, don’t panic. Add some grape juice and seltzer, and enjoy a new version of this treat.

You can also use blackberries and/or blueberries, but then you can’t really use the photographs for Ruby Tuesday:

I was inspired by the Green Smoothie of Reluctant Vegetarian, but when I suggested the addition of kale to the smoothie, my daughter balked.

Ballet Dancer with Red Hearts

I am very proud at how much my daughter has progressed in dance. She opened her group’s ballet performance with this move. She and her group of eight-year-old performed three nights, the youngest group to do so. Luckily, the dance teacher decorated the back walls with red, so I could use this for Ruby Tuesday.
