Here are some I love!

1/2 c. cold non fat plain yogurt.

1 c,. frozen blueberries (unsweetened).

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Now enjoy!

*** Honeydew and Blueberry Freeze ***

An awesomely refreshing summer treat!

Smoothies are great for meal replacement (once a day) or a healthy snack. 
This is a great way to increase your fruit and vegetable intake.  Don't rule out vegetable smoothies!  Thanks for posting!
