Blackberry-Banana Breakfast Smoothie

Ingredients:
  • 2 small bananas, quartered (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup blackberries, plus extra for garnish (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups nonfat or low-fat yogurt
  • 1 tbsp granular sugar substitute
  • 1 tbsp wheat germ
  • 4 ice cubes

Make 4 Servings

In a blender, combine bananas and blackberries; puree until smooth. Add yogurt, sugar substitute, if using, wheat germ and ice cubes; blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into 4 (10 oz.) glasses, garnish with whole blackberries, if using and serve.

WW POINTS  VALUE: 1 Pt.

Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. This breakfast smoothie can be enjoyed anytime of day. It's also a delicious treat to enjoy when you don't feel like cooking and/or there's a massive heat wave and you want to cool off. You can also use any kind of berry in this recipe and it will still taste delicious. You can also use wheat bran in place of wheat germ and it won't make a difference. This is also a nice treat if you're ever sick or you have a sore throat. The sugar is there to sweeten to tartness of your berries.
