Strawberry Smoothie

I found this easy recipe in my Betty Crocker Bridal Edition Cookbook.

1 pint (2 cups) strawberries
1 cup milk
2 containers (6 ounces each) strawberry yogurt (1 1/3 cups)

Place all ingredients into a blender.  Blend for 30 seconds on high.  Pour into four glasses. 1 serving (@ 1 cup) is 130 calories.

I followed the recipe as written. 


How did it turn out?
It was definitely easy to make and pretty good.  It wasn't very sweet, even I could have gone for just a touch more sweetness added (maybe a tablespoon of sugar? suggestions welcome).  It was still pretty good, and definitely a nice low cal treat; refreshing on a summer evening.

What about the kids?
Walter was pumped.  He was getting this as his dessert after dinner, and he drank it down quickly and was sad to learn there were no seconds.  Mara liked it too, but was too ready to play to finish her glass.
