Breakfast Smoothy - Raspberries and Yoghurt
- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
125 g raspberries (fresh or frozen)250 g (1 cup) plain 2% yogurt2 tbsp dark brown sugar
Place all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth as you want it (15-20 seconds for frozen fruit with a hand-held blender)
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
1. For additional fibre and omega-3s, lately I have been adding 2 tbsp of flaxmeal (I track it separately form the recipe) instead of the bran and I really love it that way. Additional fibre may be especially desired if you try other berries as raspberries are the most fibre rich in the lot. Because I am tracking fibre I also have saved this recipe with other fruit and the recipes are shared.
2. For less fat you can use fat free yoghurt. That will also kick the protein up a notch.
3. You can try combinations of fruit and adding herbs and spices to this. I've found that strawberries work great with a couple of mint leaves for instance.
4. I do prefer frozen to fresh fruit.

Love it! It's so refreshing! However, I would substitute the dark brown sugar to a half a cup of raisins to a cupful, depending on the amount of yogurt and raspberries you put in. This increases your fibre intake as much as 20% more plus you're getting natural sugar into your system. - 8/2/11
