Pink Princess Smoothie

Chloe has a cookbook called Pink Princess Tea Parties. She also has a fairy cookbook and other tea party cookbooks. She had a tea party birthday one year and it was so fun. Another year she had a fairy party. She's always loved a cup of tea and a scone or a cute little drink and dainty snack. One evening this week she got out the Pink Princess Tea Parties book and wanted to make something for a snack before bed. So, we made the Pink Princess Smoothie. We both drank one and it was yummy. She had one for breakfast the next morning too. I think the next time I'll use another fruit besides the raspberries, or else double the strawberries.

1 1/2 cups orange juice
1 banana, sliced
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh strawberries or raspberries for garnish

Combine all ingredients except fruit for garnish in a blender and mix until smooth and creamy. Pour into pretty glasses and garnish with fresh fruit as desired.
