Posted by ZestyCook in September 5th 2008
Want a smoothie? Late for work? Too lazy to make a meal?
If so, I think I have a smoothie that will please your taste buds not too mention touch on a few food groups that will give you some much needed energy to get through those busy days.
Get it Together: Liquid Measures, measuring spoons, dry measures, blender, 2 glasses.
Ingredients
- Milk (11/4 Cups)
- Blueberries (1 Cup)
- Raspberry Yogurt (1 Cup)
- Orange Juice (1/3 Cup)
- Ground Flax Seed ( 2 Tbsp)
- Instant Vanilla Pudding Powder (2 Tbsp)
Method
Put all 5 ingredients in the blender. Cover with Lid. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses. Makes about 3 1/2 cups - enough for 2.
I really hope you enjoy it and I would love to hear your blender creations.
Zesty Smoothie Tips
Use your favorite berry or whatever berry you have kicking around or even a combination. I like blueberries for the anti-oxidants and the consistency and color they give.
For a simple flavor switch change out the yogurt or leave it out altogether if you don’t like it or don’t have it on hand.

Thanks Megan,
The pudding does add a nice consistency.

Mmm, this looks delicious, and I love the addition of flax seeds, I*’ve been looking for ways to use them for their health benefits, and what better way than to add them to a healthy smoothie.

Thanks Corinne, Myself as well was always looking for ways to eat flax seed other than in a table spoon. This is definitely an easy way to sneak it in without anyone really noticing.

A smoothie is true life-saver. I usually use it primarily as breakfast. I do not digest dairy well so I substitute with 1/2 a banana for that creaminess.

Very good idea Cynthia… I am sure there are a lot of people in the same boat as you! Thanks very much for the comment.

I always make smoothies. They are easy and you can get your entire days servings of fruit. I’ve never tried the instant vanilla pudding, although sometimes I add sour cream.
