This recipe is full of ‘berry’ ingredients – raspberries, blackberries and strawberries – so not only will it be naturally sweet (berries have a natural sweetness to them) but you’ll also get great health benefits as well.

All three of the berries, in this recipe, each contain vitamin C which is an important vitamin we need to help keep our immune system built up so it works properly to fight off sickness and disease. Aside from the vitamin C you will also find some minerals that are important for your body such as potassium, magnesium and folate in these berries.

And just one more benefit or using these berries? They are all super low in calories and have very few, if any at all, grams of fat!

1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1/4 cup milk (low fat or fat free)
1 cup berry flavored yogurt
2 cups ice

Directions:

Place all ingredients in Vita-Mix blender.
