Natasha Here is the recipe for the prune smoothies: 1 1/2 cups apple juice 1 cup crushed ice 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt 6 prunes-pitted 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) pinch of nutmeg (optional) Soak prunes for 15 minutes in hot water before making smoothie. Drain water off of prunes & add all ingredients to blender. Blend well & enjoy!!

This makes quite a bit so I usually cut the recipe in half if my kids are drinking it as well. I usually drink one every morning & it really seems to help!! Hope you enjoy it & like I said before you really can't taste the prunes! Take Care, Mindy Jo
