Berry Yogurt Smoothie & Berry Banana Smoothie

I just got a new food processor that had a blender attachment and I have been dying to try it out. With the summer heat, I thought a berry smoothie would be the perfect treat. I have it as a snack or even sometimes as a breakfast on the go. It's a healthy alternative to a milkshake and it's so simple to put together!! Here are two similar smoothie recipes - one with and one without banana. :D

Berry Yogurt Smoothie

makes 2 generous servings

1 C. plain non-fat yogurt

1 C. frozen mixed berries (mine had blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries)

5-6 fresh strawberries, quartered

1/2 C. skim milk

1 -2 Tbs. sugar or Splenda, optional

Add all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high until no lumps of ice remain and the drink is smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. Pour into glasses and serve cold.
