Fruit Puree with Ice cream (Not quite a smoothie)

This is a recipe we've had twice in the last week. It is a wonderful summer food as it is nice and cool. Hope you enjoy

1 can peaches in pear juice
1/2 half a banana ripe and sweet, but not banana bread ripe yet(Max eats the other half)
1 1/2 c. frozen fruit. So far we've tried straight blueberries and a mixture of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries (out of a bag they sell at the mega mart)
3 scoops of Vanilla Ice cream
1/2 cup of milk or more as necessary.

Add all the ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Depending on a number of factors you may need more milk to get it to blend. Feel free to use as much milk as you want to get a smooth consistency.

I drink this like a smoothie, Adrian and Yoroko eat it with spoons (it is thick enough to justify spoons) Max eats it with delight and spreads as much of it on his face as possible.

The only thing that is stopping me from having it again is that I used up all my fruit this morning. I plan to spend most of the summer with one of these for dinner. 5 stars
