- Red Raspberry Smoothie -

Smoothies are the epitome of health food, apparently, and the nice thing about them is how versatile they are. You can have them with breakfast, as a snack, after a meal, or after every meal! Plus there are so many different flavors you can choose from. I prefer berry types. No green! I've had cherry smoothies, which are really delicious, but my favorite berry is the raspberry, so naturally.... Red Raspberry Smoothie! I also think putting a bit of lime in it wouldn't go amiss either. Maybe for another day...

Red Raspberry Smoothie

1/2 c. Water

1/2 c. Sugar

12 oz. frozen Raspberries

1 1/2 c. Vanilla Yogurt

Whipped Cream to top.

Directions:

To make a simple syrup, put the water and sugar together in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Stir with wooden spoon till the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.

In a blender, add together the raspberries, yogurt, and simple syrup. Turn blender onto high till everything is blended together and brightly colored!

Pour into two tall glasses and top with dollops of whipped cream.

Enjoy!
