Dr. Marge's Smoothie Recipe
Drink this beverage early in the morning to get a head start on eating five to eight servings of fresh fruits and vegetables each day as well as some of your daily calcium and protein requirements.
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
(Any yogurt that contains acidophilus and other live culture growth will work, including soy or other nondairy options.) - 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or berries of choice
(Using two types of berries makes the drink even more tasty and nutritious.) - 1/2 banana
- 1 kiwi, peeled and diced
- 4 oz. orange juice
(preferably not from concentrate) or 4 oz. combined cranberry and orange juice
Mix everything with a hand blender or food processor. Double the recipe to share with a friend or family member.
