Banana-Blueberry Smoothie and Groceries

Quick post before Mal’s parent’s get here… 
I found a recipe to cook tonight: Rachel Ray’s Tomato, Basil and Cheese Baked Pasta. It sounds simple enough to make, and the ingredients sound amazing all together! Let’s hope it turns out well! 
Lunch this afternoon was a banana-blueberry smoothie and a 1/2 of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on very stale Ezekiel bread. (I ate the sandwich on my way to go grocery shopping, so I didn’t snap a photo. Sorry.) 

Banana-Blueberry Smoothie
Makes 2 
Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
6 oz yogurt (I used Wallaby raspberry)
1/4 cup milk
3 cups ice cubes
Directions:
1. Combine ingredients in blender.
2. Blend well. 
3. Enjoy!
Here’s my smoothie from above (with Mal’s knee in the background– he was making a grocery list.)
