Berry Berry Blast Smoothie

December 11, 2008 · Filed Under Low Fat Smoothies, Raspberry Smoothies, Yogurt Smoothies · 10 Comments 

Berries are probably my favorite smoothie ingredients and this berry smoothie has a truckload of berries, and feel free to shove some boysenberries
in here as well or substitute. You can’t go wrong combining berries in a berry smoothie.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 1/2 blackberries
  • 1 cup low-fat yogurt (some type of berry yogurt would be best, but plain is fine too)
  • 1/4 cup low-fat milk or 1/2 cup fat-free milk
  • 2 cups of ice

While this smoothie is heavy on berries doesn’t lack of great flavor variety. I haven’t tried it with boysenberry but I would love to hear about it. Let me know if you try it. Blend until smooth.

As I’ve written before I am not a big fan of peaches. I just don’t care for the flavor of a peach. But I’ve been told I’m weird so I try to give the peach its due and include peach smoothie recipes. Here is a healthy recipe for a peach smoothie that I might even try one day.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of sliced peaches
  • 1/2 cup of fat free milk (or 1/4 fat free milk and 1/4 soy milk)
  • 1 cup lowfat peach yogurt
  • 2 cups of ice
  • Dash of nutmeg
