Splenda Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie

Submitted by AcadiaTwo

Great smoothie! I'm always on the lookout for dairy-free smoothie recipes for my daughter. She really enjoyed this. Thanks!

Delicious! I used fresh local strawberries and fresh local blueberries. I added about 1/2 teaspoon of raw agave. If you don't have orange juice on hand, you could substitute a mixture of freshly squeezed citrus juice-grapefruit, lime, etc. Reviewed for NA*ME tag/Summer and Veg Tag/August. PS I think the the serving is off. I used 4 strawberries and about 1/2 cup of blueberries.;)

Spectacular - and needing no sweetner when made with fresh squeezed orange juice from organic oranges, and fresh and ripe organic strawberries and blueberries! Tasted like summer - thanks, Acadia! Made for my chosen chef for Veggie Swap March 2011.

Yummy and good for you is always a good combination in my book. I liked the use of splenda but it was pretty sweet anyway without it. Made for Vegetarian tag.

The best flavored smoothie I have made yet!! Refreshing and healthy how I changed it. I found this to be more than one serving. I used a frozen field berry mix of a good quality. It included strawberries and blueberries as well as raspberries and blackberries. I squeezed my own orange juice which I think really contributed to the great flavour. I used a creamed unpasteurised local honey as the sweetener to be healthier. I will make this again using freshly squeezed orange juice every time. Made for Veggie Swap 24 ~ July 2010.
