BLACK BEAUTY SMOOTHIE

Category: Beverages and Cocktails

1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup grape juice (purple, not white, grape juice)
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries – frozen
1 cup fresh blackberries – frozen

In a blender, combine the yogurt and grape juice. Add the berries; blend until smooth. Strain through a sieve into serving glasses (to remove seeds from blackberries). Serves 2

To freeze berries, place on a cookie sheet or in a freezer-proof bag and freeze until solid – about 2 to 4 hours. Transfer tray-frozen berries to freezer bag or other freezer container. May be stored (airtight) in freezer for up to 2 weeks for best flavor.

Variations: Add a pinch of salt and/or a squeeze of lemon juice to bring out maximum flavors
