BLUEBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE

Ingredients

Frozen blueberries
Bananas
Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Milk
Ice

For this recipe, I'm going to say, use the kind of blueberries that you like. It's recommended that you use frozen blueberries and frozen banana slices for this recipe, as it will make sure that your smoothie is indeed refreshingly cold.

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. I like my smoothies less thick so for me, if I were making 4 smoothies, I would add 2 cups of frozen blueberries, 1 cup of frozen banana slices ( to start), I cup of Greek yogurt, and 2% milk, about 1 cup. I would blend all of this up and see if I needed to add any ice cubes. Also, if I want it sweeter, I would add one more banana rather than adding any sugar to the recipe.

OTHER SMOOTHIE IDEAS

If you don't like blueberries, you could also use raspberries instead; or strawberries. For a banana split twist on this recipe, you could add frozen pineapple, strawberries and bananas...I'm in! If you purchase some whipped cream and cherries, this could be one heck of a delicious dish.
