Recipe Instructions:
Ingredients
½ cup nonfat vanilla yogurt (such as Dannon® Light and Fit®)
½ cup sliced strawberries
½ cup water
½ cup nonfat powdered milk
1 banana, cut in chunks
¼ cup blueberries, or to taste
¼ cup raspberries, or to taste
¼ cup blackberries, or to taste
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
1 cup crushed ice
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw®)
1 tablespoon honey
Directions
Pulse yogurt, strawberries, water, powdered milk, banana, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and protein powder together in a blender until well-mixed. Add ice, sugar, and honey and blend until smooth.
Cook's Notes:
Local honey helps with allergies. Being a nurse and mother who has 4 kids with allergies, this is important to me.
Whey protein is awesome and since we drink our smoothies as a meal replacement for breakfast or lunch, it is important to add protein. It also helps to thicken and smooth the drink.
For a thinner smoothie, use 1/2 to 3/4 cup regular milk instead of the powdered milk and water. For a thicker smoothie, use more powder- either protein powder or powdered milk. Only add 1 tablespoon at a time and blend. Then, check consistency again.
