Very berry smoothie


I made this smoothie on Sunday to jump start the cookie making day with my friend Joyce. I purchased mostly frozen fruits because fresh fruit is quite expensive this time of year (where I live). You can add any kind of yogurt you want; greek, goat's, Activia, Weight Watchers — whatever you prefer. It's a tasty addition to add to your morning routine. This recipe makes 4 to 5 servings.


Very Berry Smoothie
INGREDIENTS

1 cup blackberries, raspberries and blueberries, frozen or fresh
11 medium strawberries, frozen or fresh
1/2 ripe banana
2 cups crushed ice
12 oz nonfat yogurt, vanilla or berry flavored
3/4 cup to 1 1/2 cups almond milk

DIRECTIONS

Add fruit, ice, yogurt and 3/4 cup almond milk into a blender and blend until smooth. Add more milk in intervals until you reach desired consistency.

  2. Love that you used Almond Milk. It is pretty much the only milk we have in our house anymore. I tried something similar to this last week only I used greek yogurt. Very tasty!
