My Babe's Berry Smoothie

I love when I can find 2-for specials on delicious produce at the supermarket. Last week mine had a great 2 for special on blueberries! This of course inevitably means that we end up with way more blueberries than we know what to do with and have to get creative. Saturday morning seemed like the ultimate time to enjoy some blueberry granola pancakes (recipe to follow) and these Triple Berry Smoothies filled with rewarding antioxidants and calcium to get your day going! But all your honey will realize is that they are insanely delicious! Serve them in nice tall pint glasses, sprinkle a few blueberries on top, and enjoy!

What you need for 2 smoothies:

½ pint of blueberries
4 small yogurts—2 strawberry and 2 raspberry
½ cup of skim milk
2 glasses full of ice (you can use the glasses you will be serving them in)



In the blender combine the first three ingredients and mix until the blueberries are completely blended and look like delicious little specks of blue confetti throughout the yogurt mixture.
At this point, if you think you and your sweetie may want your smoothie a little sweeter you can add one tablespoon of honey for just the right touch!
You can now add the ice and blend to your desired consistency. I like my smoothies on the creamier side (more of a milkshake-like texture) so I blended until the ice was almost completely liquefied.

Top with a few blueberries and voila! Delicious Berry Smoothies for you and your Babe!
