Blueberries are in season in my area right now so that's the main flavouring. You can use any fruit that makes you happy.
1 cup rinsed blueberries, mashed w/ fork
1/2 cup mashed seedless green grapes
1 mashed banana
1 small container of vanilla or plain yougurt (4-6 ozs)
1/4 cup OJ
1/4-1/2 cup of milk (can be cow, soy or almond)
Method 1
Place first 5 cold ingredients in a a gallon Ziploc bag and smush together with your hands until well mixed. Add milk to get to your desired consistency. Add....1 cup of smashed ice Throw in the air a few times and drink:D.
Serves 2.
Method 2
Place first 5 cold ingredients in a manual blender. Add milk to get to your desired consistency. Add 1 cup of smashed ice( you can crush it with a hammer/mallet over a dishtowel covered plastic bag). Blend on low then high and drink.
This year to make the process faster, and finished product colder, I froze the pureed grapes in an ice tray, added 3 grape cubes to the berries and poured the mashed banana over the berries in a small plastic bag and froze the melange together. This way I've made my 2 serving portion, lil grrlies can make their own breakfast and I'm content.
Should you want additional sweetening a touch( maybe a tsp?) of honey should do ya fine. Or a packet of your fav artificial sweetener. Or a packet of the sugar of your choice.
