Smooth(ie) Criminal

Listen, if makin' sweet smoothie love is wrong, I don't wanna be right...or something like that.

Today I opened my new Ninja blender system. Somehow I pleased the Gods of the Yankee Swap and won it at my work Christmas party. This thing is like, the blender of all blenders...cookie dough paddle, ice demolisher, party pitcher attached, you name it. Legit sorcery. Look at it!!!


The thing I was MOST pumped about were the three travel smoothie cups, because I love me a smoothie in the morning. In fact, don't tell anyone else that makes smoothies, but I've kind of perfected it. You want in on my super simple, super delicious, super low point (2-3 WW points) but also very filling smoothie???? I will do this for you.

Here's what you need (no ice!!! no measuring cups!!! no rules!!! so many options and combinations!). Today's smoothie was peach-strawberry-banana-raspberry-lemon, or as I like to call it, The Pink Kind.
  • 1 6oz yogurt (any flavor, any kind)
  • Frozen fruit (Dole makes some very delicious ones)
  • Juice, or flavored water (today I had light Raspberry Lemonade, but I also like to use Fruit2O)



Pick a yogurt flavor (any 6 oz yogurt will do, this one is 2 pts). Today's smoothie started with peach yogurt. Add your yogurt to the blender. Then fill the yogurt cup with frozen fruit (I heaped it over a bit).



Add the fruit to the blender. Then fill your yogurt cup again with juice/flavored water. All the way to the top if you like it more liquid, less if you like it thick (gutter, meet mind).


 Blend that magic up like a boss.



If you have a Ninja like me, switch out the chopper top for the to-go top and have a photo session of you getting your DRANK ON.

You can even put a straw in it!!!
