Name: Very Berry Smoothie
Ingredients: 1. about 3 large handfuls of frozen summer berries (usually contain rasberries, blackberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants and strawberries. Any variation of berries is fine); *Tip* You can use fresh berries although frozen berries are cheaper. If you use fresh berries you will have to add 4 - 5 ice cubes to this recipe or leave your smoothie in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving.; 2. powdered sweetener (or you can use icing sugar but not regular sugar as it doesn't dissolve. You could also use honey); 3. apple juice (preferably with no added sugar); 4. Greek yogurt (preferably 0% fat); 5. a blender (you can use a food processor or a hand blender but a regular blender works best)
