Blueberry Plus Smoothie

July 30, 2009 · Filed Under Blueberry Smoothies · 4 Comments 

Here is a wonderful smoothie packed with fruity goodness. It all starts with the simple blueberry.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 1.5 cups orange juice
  • 1.5 cup skim milk
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup frozen peaches

Put everything in the mixer. Blend. Drink. Serves 4 or so.

A pinch of salt will help bring out more flavor, but I usually avoid it. If you think the drink is still too sour (and it will have a bit of a tang to it) you can add honey or even sugar, but you really shouldn’t need to.

Using frozen fruit means you don’t have to use ice which waters down the drink.

  • 1 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened strawberries  (frozen or fresh)

  • 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)

Garnish

  • whipped topping
  • chocolate syrup
  • maraschino cherries

Combine bananas, pineapple, milk, strawberries and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth, no lumps. Start adding ice slowly and blending until slushy. Pour into large glasses, preferably chilled then garnish with whipped topping, chocolate syrup, and maraschino cherries. The perfect banana split in a glass.

  • 2-3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1½ cup plain yogurt (we prefer Mountain High brand)
  • 1 to 1 ½ cup crushed ice

Blend all ingredients, except ice, in blender first set at medium and then at high. When smooth continue blending while pouring in 1 to 1½ cups crushed ice. Serves 4 to 6.
