Recipe: I Heart You Fresh Berry Smoothie

Summary: Heart-Healthy Smoothie! Blend this up- sip, and feel the love!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla soy milk (almond milk works well too)
  • 1/2 cup strawberry soy yogurt
  • 1 small ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • 1 1/4 cups mixed frozen berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries)
  • 3-4 fresh strawberries
  • 2 Tbsp agave or maple syrup
  • garnish: fresh strawberries
  • optional: adults may like a little dash of cayenne on top of their smoothie to give it a warm spicy kick!

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients.
  2. Add the milk, frozen fruit, banana, ice, yogurt and sweetener to you blender. Blend until smooth. Thickness tastes vary. I like my smoothies thick, my husband likes them thin. Add more milk if the blend is too stiff. Add more ice/fruit if it is too thin.
  3. Lastly, pulse in the fresh strawberries – I like to add the tender fresh fruit last so I don’t mush it up too much.
  4. Serve in smoothie glasses, garnish with a fresh strawberry on the glass. Pink straws optional, but recommended!
