Smoothie Sensation
Mrs. MacRae came in on Thursday and talked with us about fruits. We learned lots about the different nutrients in these foods. Students learned that bananas help our hearts stay healthy with all of their potassium. Oranges give us Vitamin C, which gives us healing power. We learned that some fruits like apples have a protective skin that can be eaten to provide our bodies with a good source of fiber. Fiber helps to rid our bodies of toxins. So, what happens when we blend these fruits together?
Voila! It’s not quite summer yet, but Thursday Mrs. MacRae taught us how to create the Summer Breeze Smoothie. I didn’t ask her, but perhaps it’s derived from Seals and Crofts. It was a huge success. Kids gulped these little concoctions down in a hurry.
As you can see it was impossible to contain our excitement.
Good, down to the last drop. Below I’ve included the recipe. Enjoy.
This is so good. I think im gonna make it at home!
Thanks, Mrs. MacRae! The smoothies were really good! I hope I can make some soon!

Dear Mr. Magill,
I really liked the smoothie, I thought it was really good. Me and my dad are going to get the stuff and we might make the smoothie. We got a juicer at the store and I helped my dad make homemade orange Juice. It was really good.

Dear Mrs. MacRae
The smoothies were so good. My mom made me some over the weekend. It was really good!!!!!
Dear Mr. Magill,
The smoothie is great, I like it. I have a question do you have to put frozen strawberries or you can just put regular strawberries? 🙂

Hello 5th Graders!
I made a blackberry and raspberry smoothie last week. It was delicious!
Has anyone tried to make a smoothie with different types of fruit or fruit juice? What did you use? How did it taste?
-Mrs. MacRae
That’s great. Mrs. MacRae wanted to know if anyone made it. She’ll be very excited to hear you did it.
You can put regular strawberries in too. The frozen strawberries just make it a little colder.
Did you make it yet?
Hey Mr. Magill. The smoothies are really good. I’m going to make my family test them.

Dear Mrs. MacRae,
Ever since we made the smoothies, I have been helping my dad make all kinds of smoothies. We made strawberry, banana smoothie and we tried something new too. We made a strawberry, banana and kiwi smoothie and it was really good.
Reilli
Dear Mrs. MacRae,
I did switch the fruits. I made a cherry, apple smoothie. I didn’t like it until I added a hint of strawberry and (2 teaspoons of) sugar. You should try it!
Makenna

Dear Mrs. MacRae,
Your smoothies were better than my smoothies at home. I put frozen blueberries in the blender and I broke the blender. My mom was mad when she found out about it. Me And my mom went to Walmart to buy another blender. This time we did it together.
Sincerely, Cendy
Mr.Magill,

What did you learn?
Dear Mrs. MacRae
I really enjoyed the smoothies. They were delicious. I wanted to make some at my house but I don’t have fruits at home.
Gabe
Mrs. MacRae,
I made some over the weekend, but it didn’t taste like it did last time I made them. I put everything you did in it. Do you know what could have happened?
Jordan
Mr. Magill,
The smoothies were really good. When I got home I made a blueberry and banana and strawberry smoothie. It was so good, but I really think Mrs. MacRae’s recipe is the best. Thank you Mrs. MacRae. I hope we do something like this again. Sincerely, Alex
Dear Mr. Magill,
They were so good, I wish we could have them again.
Jonathan,
You can. I posted the recipe. You could follow it this weekend and tell me how it goes. Good luck!
Dear Mr. Magill
The smoothie was so good that I am going to make it at home.

Dear Mr. Magill
Are we going to make foods like the smoothie, or the cool trail mix? Are we going to have only 3 more nutrition classes until the end of the year?
Mohamed 😀
Mohamed,
Yes. We don’t have much more time for Nutrition. Actually, we only have 1 more class. Mrs. MacRae has done a wonderful job with you guys this year. Our last class is on the 30th I believe. It will be the Apple Cup Challenge.
Mr. Magill
Dear Mr.Magill,
Are we going to make smoothies this year?
Hailey
Hailey,
You need to ask Ms. Julie this question. I would think there’s a good chance we will do it.
