Blue Raspberry Fruit Shake

Submitted by lortle

"This is an extremely fruity shake which turns out a pleasingly purple hue. You can use other berries as well, strawberries are also good, but this is my favorite combo. It's a fast healthy breakfast if you don't feel like eating; I also like them after exercise."

 

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

ingredients

• 1 cup frozen blueberries (unsweetened)
• 1 cup frozen raspberries (unsweetened)
• 4 -5 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt
• 3⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup water (optional)
• sugar, to taste (I use 3-4 Tbsp of sugar but it depends on the sweetness of the fruit)

directions

1. Put blueberries, raspberries, yogurt, sweetener, and 3/4 cup of water in blender.
2. Blend for a while - you may need to stop your blender and mix things about with a long-handled spoon occasionally.
3. If fruit shake is too thick, add the other 1/4 cup of water.
4. Drink immediately for best flavor and texture.
5. May be kept in the refrigerator for a while but will separate - stir to recombine.

Very good smoothie but instead of water I substituted milk. It's more pleasant taste with the fruit and yogurt. And for the yogurt I used strawberry banana flavor. Yummy

This was very good. I think I would prefer adding more yogurt instead of water next time.

This is a great way to eat fruit! I used a blend of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. I also didn't have plain yogurt, so used vanilla yogurt, and then didn't add any sugar.

I made this for my BF... I was hoping that I could have some, but he drank the whole thing! Guess that means it's good. ;) I did sneak a sip and it was quite tasty, especially considering the simplicity. Blueberries and raspberries are the two organic frozen berries that I can get regularly at Trader Joe's so with that and the fact that we both liked it, I'm sure this will become a regular for us. Thanks!
