Method

  1. In a blender, combine yogurt, strawberries, water, powdered milk, banana, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and protein powder.

  2. Blend the mixture until it is well-mixed and smooth.

  3. Add ice, sugar, and honey to the blender.

  4. Blend the ingredients again until the smoothie reaches a smooth consistency.

  5. If desired, add local honey to help with allergies. This step is particularly important for individuals with allergies, and it is especially relevant to the author, who is a nurse and mother of four children with allergies.

  6. Whey protein can be added to the smoothie for added nutritional benefits, as well as to thicken and smooth the drink.

  7. To adjust the thickness of the smoothie, you can use regular milk instead of powdered milk and water. Use 1/2 to 3/4 cup of regular milk for a thinner smoothie.

  8. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can increase the amount of powder, whether it be protein powder or powdered milk. Add the powder 1 tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition. Check the consistency and adjust as necessary.
