My DH never met a smoothie he didn't like...and he really loved this one. We subbed 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt for the frozen yogurt since we don't usually have that on hand, but all other ingredients were as listed. It whizzed up nicely, but turned an odd blue/orange color that I couldn't quite describe. The one flaw to this smoothie, besides the color, was the texture. The blueberry skins made it kind of "pulpy" to me; but if you like pulp in your orange juice, which I don't, you will like this smoothie.
