Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Blender
Fat-free Plain Yogurt
Fat-free Milk
Fresh Strawberries
Fresh Blueberries
Fresh Raspberries
Protein Powder
Flax Seeds
Paper Towel
Plate
1 cup Measuring Cup
1/3 cup Measuring Cup
½ cup Measuring Cup
Tablespoon
Glass/Cup

Step 1

Clean your fresh berries and let them drain on a paper towel placed on a plate.
Step 2

Cut the strawberries in half.

Place one cup of fat-free plain yogurt and 1 cup fat-free milk in a blender.
Step 4

Put 1/3 cup of blueberries, 1/3 cup of raspberries and ½ cup of strawberries in the blender.

Pour your low-fat berry smoothie into a glass or cup and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

Add a banana to your smoothie to give it a different taste and add an extra punch of potassium.
If you like a crunchier consistency to your smoothie put a cup of ice in the blender before any of the other ingredients.
If you follow a dairy-free diet, you can use soy yogurt and milk. Soft tofu also makes a good substitute for yogurt.
