Blueberry smoothie

Ah, these are delicious. If you want to watch the calories, careful of what yogurt you select. I didnt realize that and was drinking these at night before I went to bed and then realized how many calories I was taking just by the yogurt and whole milk.

This is for 2-3 servings

Use a Blender or bullet (I have a no name bullet)


1 cup blueberries
1 cup milk (or skim milk)
(if you want really thick, use some cream)
1 cup yogurt (any flavor you like)
1 cup of juice (I love the banana strawberry or kiwi banana or something like that)

Blend away

If you want really icy, add some crushed ice while blending!
Sometimes, I add wheat germ to make it even healthier.
Depending if you like thinner or thicker, that is where I play with ice, milk, juice.

If you are using a bullet, you of course should just put in equal amounts of blueberries, milk, juice, and yogurt.

Don't Throw Those Bananas Away

Crystal says "Don't throw those bananas away" just because they look brown, have brown spots, are super soft, or are just yucky! Throw them with the peel off into a zip lock bag and freeze them. When you are ready to make banana bread, take them out and let them defrost on the counter or put them in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Voila, bananas that are ready for making bread or muffins. Add some chocolate chips and nuts into those muffins too!

If you don't want to freeze, throw them into your blender with yogurt and some milk and make a smoothie.
