yuMy's Smoothie

my very own delicious raspberry chocolate smoothie! yeah, so the day is not quite hot here in NC, but summer is here and there are many a hot days to be had. this is a really simple recipe and an easy one to make. i like my smoothies brightly colored and red. this one is no exception!
you will need:
-a blender (i use an osterizer classic blender (r), and it works great!)
-spatula
ingredients:
-2 C. frozen raspberries (nuke these for about 30 seconds to soften them a little)
-7 strawberries unfrozen
-3/4 C. cranberry juice for an additional tang and an added kick!
-2 frozen bananas to smooth out the texture of the smoothie.
-1/3 C. of frozen almonds for a crunch (optional)
-1/2 C. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
directions:
1. blend fruit and juice together until smooth.
2. once smooth add in your almonds and chocolate until they are chopped up into small bits
3. pour smoothie into a lovely glass (i found that the look and materiel of the cup changes the flavor) top with additional morsels and enjoy!

i just finished mine and boy was it delicious! i love the small buts of chocolate melting in my mouth as i eat a frozen drink.... neat feeling. i hope you enjoy every last bite!
