I typically don't indulge in smoothies. Don't order them out. Don't make them at home. I can't afford the calories.
I've mentioned this little problem before, ahem :: the lack of sugary snacks to eat in this house! It's intentionally rigged to not have temptations that will make me gain weight.
Tonight my sweet tooth was
I looked in the pantry. Nothing.
Nothing in the fridge OR the freezer...pretty desperate. I did, however, find a bag of frozen mixed berries.
Frozen berries in the freezer; homemade yogurt in the fridge....those are the things smoothies are made from. I tossed half the bag of berries into the blender and a container of my homemade yogurt. As it puréed, the yogurt became frozen from the berries and in no time the blender was labouring. So I added milk.
What a delicious purply-raspberry colour. A taste test revealed it was tart and not satisfying enough for a sweet tooth. To be expected with....unsweetened berries and unsweetened yogurt. So I got out the sugar bowl and added some sugarrr!
What a treat. Utterly d-i-v-i-n-e! I'll have to remember this healthy way to satisfy a craving.
