Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Supershake

I really like this shake. My kids do too! I have made it many times. You really don't need to measure. Like most shakes just add ingredients to your liking and desired consistency. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2-1 c. ice
• 1 banana
• 1/2-1 c. blueberries
• 2 T. peanut butter
• 1-2 T. honey
• 1/3 c. quick oats
• 1 c. milk
• 2 scoops berry ice cream or yogurt (optional)

DIRECTIONS: Blend until smooth. Original recipe has 2 bananas, but I just use 1 frozen banana. It's fine without the yogurt or ice cream also.

Bubbly Love Potion

Recipe found HERE.
My kiddos gulped this up fast! It was a fun drink for our Valentines dinner.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (12-ounce) can pink lemonade concentrate
• 4 cups raspberry sherbet
• Can of Sprite
  

DIRECTIONS: Mix the lemonade with recommended water. Combine 4 cups of sherbet with 4 cups of lemonade in the blender. Spoon into individual glasses and gently stir in the sprite.

Homemade Root Beer

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 cups white sugar
• 3 1/3 gallons of Cold Water
• 1 (2 oz) bottle of Root Beer extract
• 4 lbs Dry Ice

DIRECTIONS:

1. In large cooler, mix together the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
   
2. Stir in the Root Beer extract.
   
3. Carefully place the dry ice into the cooler. DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE HANDS! I used oven mitts. Cover cooler LOOSELY with the lid. DO NOT SECURE THE LID, as pressure may build up.
4. Let the mixture brew for about an hour before serving.
   

* This does make a huge amount of Root Beer (about 4 gallons), so I would suggest cutting the recipe in half if you are making it for a small family. It kept well in the fridge for days and still had fizz.

Banana Slush

* This is one of my FAVORITE drinks that my Mom makes. I thought I would share it because it is so delicious and is the perfect Summer time drink. You may want to cut the recipe in half (unless you are making it for a big party) because it makes a whole lot of slush.

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 c. Sugar
• 6 c. Water
• 1 large can of Pineapple Juice
• 5 bananas (mashed)
• 2 cans frozen Orange Juice concentrate
  
• 1 can frozen Lemonade concentrate
• 3 liters of 7-up
  

DIRECTIONS:

1. Boil the sugar and water until sugar is dissolved.
2. Pour into a large dish and add the pineapple juice.
   
3. Combine other ingredients together and stir into the dish.
   
4. Freeze. When ready to serve add 3 liters of 7-up.
   

TIP:
Allow enough time to freeze because it takes awhile. I would suggest freezing overnight. If you spoon the slush out into individual cups you will only need a few spoonfuls. If you break up the slush or let it sit in the pop for a few minutes, it tastes best! yum. enjoy!
