- COOKS NOTES:
- Using semi-frozen berries instead of ice in this smoothie keeps the flavors bright and does not dilute your drink.
- Low fat Greek yogurt is recommended. Non-fat yogurt produces a ‘gritty’ texture.
- You can make your own Greek yogurt by straining regular yogurt over a fine-mesh strainer for several hours or overnight.
