Fruit Powder Smoothies

This recipe makes enough powder for several smoothies

Directions:

1. Blend each fruit separately into a smooth puree, using minimal or no water.
2. Spread the puree evenly onto a parchment or silicone-lined freeze dryer tray.
3. Pre Freeze when possible- Highly recommend to help shorten the cycle time
4. Freeze dry (my cycle time was 68 hours) fruits can have lengthy cycles
5. Place freeze dried fruits and milk, separately  into a food processor to create a fine powder of each ingredient
6. Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage
