This smoothie is so yummy. I used frozen blueberries, regular milk, and splenda to sweeten it. Thanks Sharon :) Made for the Australian recipe swap for September 2011

Made this for breakfast on Easter morning. I used frozen organic blueberries, skim milk, vanilla yogurt, and real vanilla. No sugar or ice cubes. This was a very thick mixture that I served in bowls like ice cream or sorbet. The flavor was very good and it was cold and refreshing. I think I would like this as a summer dessert on a hot evening instead of a breakfast just because it is soo thick.

I made this for breakfast this morning as it was quick and easy and I was hungry! I used Rice Milk due to allergies, and used Blueberry yogurt instead of plain. I did use fresh blueberries. I made half a recipe but added about 1 c. ice. Mine didn't come out nearly as thick as Juenessa's, but it was delicious! I added a dollop of whipped cream on the top and some fresh blueberries for garnish... Great addition for a quick nutritious breakfast on the run! Thanks Sharon :) Made for Zaar Stars Tag Game

This was pretty good, but not great. I picked this recipe for my youngest son who has a fondness for blueberries in smoothies. I cut the recipe in half and used frozen blueberries, regular milk, strawberry yogurt (because that is all I had on hand and we think that strawberries and blueberries taste good together), 1 T. of sugar and the rest of the ingredients as listed. After blending the smoothie, it pretty much had no taste. I added two more T. of sugar-- it tasted a little better but still not much taste. In the past, we have added some sugar free lemonade powder to milder smoothies to enhance the flavor-- so I added about 1 t. of the powder. My son said it tasted good with the added ingredient. We hoped to like this drink better, but enjoyed playing with it a bit. Maybe it would have been better with fresh blueberries that were in season? Thanks for posting, Sharon.

I tried blending this even without the vanilla for a lower fat blend and it tasted delicious! thanks for posting it!
