Instant Yogurt Smoothies
I've been drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks for almost 15 years now. It was always such a perfectly delicious and quick snack to drink on the way to work or school. Usually I drink the milk chocolate, but I actually love all the flavors.
Over the past year I've also developed a love for Yoplait's Yoplus Yogurt. Strawberry is my favorite flavor, but I also enjoy the raspberry and the strawberry banana. So I decided to combine these two breakfast treats into one quick and easy smoothie. The result was sweet and delicious!
If you have a fruity treat to share with us, please send it in to me for Sweet Thursday by August 25.
Recipe for Yogurt Smoothie:
Ingredients:
1 4oz yogurt
3/4 cup milk
1 envelope Carnation Instant Breakfast mix (I used vanilla flavored.)
Directions: Blend together your milk and yogurt. Then add drink mix and blend to smooth. Makes one medium size smoothie. For an extra fruity, extra thick smoothie, add 1 to 2 oz.of fruit.
*Tip: This would also be a great smoothie to make with Whey Protein Powder or other powered drink mixes you may have on hand.
I'm linking up to these fabulous parties!

That sounds yummy. Unfortunately I have the habit of running out of the house in the mornings not eating. So this would be a great breakfast. I could even eat it on the go.

I love Carnation instant breakfast! My new drink I just discovered is Horchata - the most soothing cooling drink you can imagine! I get El Mexicano mix at WalMart and add 1 can of evaporated milk, 6 cups water, and 3/4 cup of the mix. Try it! :) Nancy
