Quick Mixed Berry Smoothie

Hey guys! A few weeks ago I got a new blender (after one of my dogs chewed the last one), and since I got it I have been making one particular smoothie pretty much non-stop. The smoothie in question is mixed berry! It is extremely easy to make and quite frankly tastes amazing! 

I've been having this as breakfast a lot, since it's full of nutrients, and really filling. This recipe makes enough to fill around 5 half pint glasses, meaning that you can adjust is accordingly to however much you want! 

You only need a few simple ingredients, all of which you may have already have in your house! This is quite a cheap smoothie to make, as the main part of the drink, the berries, only cost £1.30 from Sainsbury's. The things that you will need are:

415g natural yogurt

380ml semi-skimmed milk

1 banana

400g frozen mixed berries

About 2/3 tablespoons of honey, although you adjust this to whatever you like

All that you need to do is cut the banana up into slices, put everything in the blender, and then blend! I leave it to blend for about 4 minutes, to make sure that everything is all mixed up and there are no lumps of berry left.

I'd suggest stirring it once or twice part of the way through blending, just to make sure that any bits get close enough to the blade at the bottom. I also taste it a couple of times to check whether or not it's sweet enough, and if it isn't I add a little more honey!

All I do after that is just pour some into a glass and add a straw (it somehow tastes better with the straw)! You will then be left with a lovely thick, cold and fruity smoothie to enjoy.

I'd love to know if you try making these and how they turned out! Also if you have any smoothie recipes/ideas I would really like to hear them. I am going to have a look into possibly buying some flax seed, whey and protein powder aswell, since I know that lots of health gurus use those sorts of things in smoothies!

Do you ever make smoothies, if so what's your favourite one to make?
