Very Berry Smoothie

healthy and tasty a bgreat breakfast or snack

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)

Instructions

STEP 1:

1. put the frozen berries, 6 tablespoons of greek yogurt and a small glass of apple juice (and 4 – 5 ice cubes if you are using fresh fruit) in the blender and pulse.

STEP 2:

2. When this mixture has blended slightly put on a high setting until smooth (You will probably have to keep pushing the larger berries down to the bottom of the blender as the blades are at the bottom).

STEP 3:

3. Add the sweetener (or icing sugar/honey) to taste and blend in.

STEP 4:

*Tip* you may not have to add extra sweetener if the apple juice you have used has added sugar, make sure to taste the smootie before adding extra sweetness.

STEP 5:

4. Serve in a glass and enjoy!
