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

- Blueberries (1 Cup)
- Raspberry Yogurt (1 Cup)
- Orange Juice (1/3 Cup)
- Ground Flax Seed ( 2 Tbsp)
- Instant Vanilla Pudding Powder (2 Tbsp)

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.

I love adding pudding to my smoothies. It gives them the perfect thickness. Great post!!!!
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.
To ZestyCook,
Regarding the Simple Berry Smoothie, where do I get Instant Vanilla Pudding Powder and does it contain healthful ingredients? And does the recipe come out like a pudding or smoothie? Would like to make it into a pudding? Appreciate your help.
Thanks for that. My son has a total aversion to eating fruit for some reason, so I made it into smoothies for him and then he loves it! I also found some great smoothie recipes here and thought I’d share – lots of other great ideas there.
