Healthy Smoothie Series: Orange Raspberry Dream

​Adding vanilla yogurt to this combo of orange and raspberry makes this smoothy creamy, fruity, and yummy.  Because it's lighter in calories, it serves well as a mid-morning snack or post-dinner treat.

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup of raspberries
• Orange or 1/2 cup of orange juice (an orange will make it a bit pulpy)
• Vanilla Almond Milk (I like Almond Breeze, 30 calories per cup)
• Yogurt, plain or vanilla (Greek yogurt for some extra protein, I like Dannon's Light & Fit or Chobani)
• Optional: vanilla extract
• Ice

Instructions:

• Pour 1/3 of a cup of almond milk into blending cup
• Add in 1/2 cup of raspberries
• Add in orange slices or about half a cup of OJ
• Dollop in some greek yogurt, note that greek yogurt has a strong flavor so you might want to only put a small amount at first and then add more in as needed
• Optional: Add in a little bit of vanilla extract
• Throw in a few ice cubes and fill the blending cup up to a little under the top with cold water
• Blend and enjoy!
