Simple Summer Smoothie

Very tasty. I made only 1 serving of this. Using water, plain Greek yogurt, no honey and added a scoop of Vanilla protein. Very tasty

This is one I've been wanting to make for quite awhile, always waiting until I had fresh or frozen cherries at hand. I still didn't, but I made this anyway, cherry juice and cherry yogurt fillling in for the always absent real thing. Also, this time, while I did have frozen bananas in the freezer, the strawberries and blueberries I used were fresh and cold, but not frozen. The result was interesting and we both approved - the smoothie was lighter, not nearly as thick. Very refreshing! With this big mix of fruits compared to the smaller amounts of orange juice and yogurt, this was intensely fruity too. Great as is, I'm sure, but I added a little extra honey. This is one of the better smoothies I've made.

This had a good flavor, but a couple of points. One, it was a bit on the tart side, and therefore I don't really consider the honey optional. I'm not sure more honey would help. It seems to need more or less of... something else, don't know what. I notice many leaving out the cherries. The bigger problem is that it's hard to mix. The ice is needed since there's very little liquid. As to the person with the old blender - not sure it's the blender - there just isn't a lot of liquid to mix the fruit smooth. I managed, and the ice was pure liquid by time I was done, but it's definitely easy getting it smooth with more liquid.

Delicious and refreshing! I too skipped the cherries, and used blackberries instead of the blue. Will make this all summer!

So refreshing and delicious! I used fresh squeezed orange juice, fat free plain yogurt instead of vanilla and protein supplement instead of honey. Also, I didn't have cherries, so I used frozen raspberries instead.
