I buy large containers of vanilla yogurt and add spoonsfull to this smoothie to make a fabulous breakfast drink. In wintertime, I buy frozen fruit when I can't get fresh. This drink has helped me lose 22 pounds (so far) because it is delicious, filling, and healthful! And it helps me get in the servings of fruit needed each day for a balanced diet.

Very tropical - A use for your aging bananas- slice and freeze then when you want to make a smoothie you add bananas as your cold base instead of ice.

I love this recipe. I drink a variation of this almost everyday. I've tried it with raspberries instead of blueberries and I really enjoyed frozen pink lemonade instead of the orange juice. It's been great during cold season. I've had no sore throats or colds and I work at a bank!
