1 cup Yogurt Low-fat, plain
½ cup Orange Juice
4 Strawberries Frozen
½ teaspoon Cinnamon Optional

Notes

Use any fresh or frozen fruit, such as peaches, blueberries, raspberries, or mangoes. Use fruits in season when you can.
For a creamier smoothie, use nonfat, soy, or 1% milk instead of orange juice.
Freeze slices of fruits that are about to go bad. Use these in your smoothies.
If smoothie is too thick, add water or ice. If smoothie is too thin, add more fruit.
If you don’t have a blender, use a fork to mash the fruit. Whisk in the other ingredients. Serve over ice.
