Basic Smoothie Recipe

This is my favorite way to get my resveratrol. A basic smoothie that I can add any fruit I want or that is in season. But if I want my resveratrol, I use a mixture of blueberries, blackberries or strawberries, because that's what I get from my garden and freeze when I have lots. And the blackberry seeds don't get stuck in your teeth when you drink it down.

Fruit Smoothie
1/2 cup milk
6 oz. container yogurt (I like vanilla)
1 cup crushed ice
1 banana
1 cup berries
Blend all in the blender. If fruit is frozen, use another liquid instead of the ice. I like it really frozen, but it needs it to be able to move in the blender. I used to have a fridge that had an ice crusher, now I just put ice in a zipper baggie and hit it with a meat tenderizer hammer. Use the flat side so you don't get little pits of plastic baggie in your smoothie!
