Berry Smoothie

Submitted by woohoopepper

"Filling substitute for any meal. Has protein, fruit, dairy and tastes like a dessert. I make this in my Magic Bullet blender; it fills the entire glass, and I don't have to try to pour it into anything else. What I'm left with is the one glass to wash! It seriously tastes like a thick milk shake."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 1-2

ingredients

• 2 (4 ounce) cartons light vanilla yogurt
• 1 banana, frozen
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberry, raspberries, blackberries & blueberries, fresh frozen or packaged)
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon (or to taste)
• 1⁄4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
• 1 teaspoon artificial sweetener (optional)

directions

1. Put frozen banana and berries on microwave-safe dish and defrost in microwave approximately 1 minute (I keep it hi-power). This makes it easier to blend, but still keeps it chilled.
2. Put one container of yogurt, the banana (peeled & sliced), cinnamon and sweetener in blender or "Magic Bullet" and blend until smooth.
3. Add remaining fruit and the second container of yogurt and blend until smooth and pink or purple!
4. Add walnuts(optional) and blend until smooth.

I, like the other reviewer, had to add liquid (some water and some non-fat milk) to get the smoothie thin enough to pour. Good overall flavor though!!! I really liked the cinnamon and the walnuts.

Loved this!! It was delicious with the yogurt. I did have to add a tad of water and non fat milk because I used all frozen berries and bananas. I also only used a pinch of sweetener. Thanks!
