Super-Exceptional Raspberry Smoothie

Found on Pinterest!
Super-Exceptional Rasberry Smoothie (This recipe is packed with anti-oxidents, nutrients & Vitamins) Ingredients: 1/3 cup raspberries (or blueberries) 1/2 cup strawberries, halved 1 cup plain yogurt 1 cup milk 1 tsp almond extract (optional) 2 - 3 Tbsp honey, to taste.


DONE! I have to say first, that we were once spoiled in Jamaica with a poolside Raspberry Smoothie--we've been on the search for something just as good since then. I have to say, we're almost there. Granted, the difference very well could be environmental at this point! Serving a smoothie on a cold January evening in New England just can't compete with poolside Jamaica in June. 


Regardless, this will be MY recipe until something better comes along, which really might not happen. I LOVED the almond extract, my family, however, preferred it plain. 


Family's Response?  A- (Again, environmental? Probably)
Prep Time? A+ (I used my "Magic Bullet" to blend... easy clean-up too)
Nutritiousness? A+ (I used skim milk and Greek Plain Yogurt for added protein)


Additionally, the Greek Yogurt can be a little tart so I did opt to throw in some honey. I will recommend this time and time again.
