Whipping up some sinfully sweet crushes

I spent part of this morning making Strawberry Crushes with the berries I picked yesterday. This is a high calorie recipe I found at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of NY Presbyterian website (with a few tweaks of my own) and it is absolutely delicious! The recipe works best when the berries are frozen and it yields 2 - 16oz servings. Approximately 337 calories/serving as is, less of course if you decide to cut back on the sugar.

Place the following in a blender:

1/2 c crushed pineapple
1/2 c water
1/4 c lemon juice
2 Tbsp honey
6 Tbsp sugar
1/2 medium banana (broken in pieces)
2 c frozen strawberries
1/2 peach
3 ice cubes

Blend thoroughly and enjoy!
