This was shown to me by my friend Alexis, who made this delicious smoothie for me when I went to visit her. It's healthy and delicious and is a lifesaver over passover when there isn't much to be found without corn syrup. It's also great to make a smoothie without any ice, which never really gets fully crushed in the blender. I love that I can get all those awesome berry nutrients without the expense and waste of the too-quick-to-rot fresh berries. My version has been slightly modified from hers.
Ingredients
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
2 cups of frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and mangoes work well; mix them up!)
1/2 fresh banana (optional)
Some great additives: flax seeds, wheat germ, and/or a handful of frozen spinach (trust me, you won't taste it)
Directions
Blend in a blender! Nice and easy. If the blender can't seem to crush your berries, adding more liquid should do the trick.
