Ingredients

8 oz. low-fat milk 1∕3 cup light cottage cheese ¼ cup blueberries, frozen ¼ cup blackberries, frozen ¼ cup red grapes, frozen ½ banana, sliced and frozen ¼ tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation

1. Cut up banana in slices. Freeze banana and grapes.
2. Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add more or less milk to desired consistency. Add your choice of sweetener, if desired.

A quick tip, if you aren't using frozen fruit, or didn't get a chance to freeze your fruit, fear not, simply add ice to give it that chilled, frosty taste. This smoothie is also a great one post-gym to feed your body after a tough workout. We love it!
