Breakfast Smoothie with Homemade Yogurt

  Here is a wonderful refreshing smoothie that I make often for breakfast or snacks.  We sometimes take it on the go.




There really is no set recipe, but this is what is in today's.

1 cup homemade yogurt ( you can use store bought- plain or flavored)
1 cup vanilla almond milk (you can use juice, regular milk...etc.  I just LOVE vanilla almond milk)
1 frozen banana
2/3 cup organic blueberries (any frozen fruit works great)
1 TBSP honey (more or less to suit your taste)

BLEND....DRINK....ENJOY!

This is really great on stomachs.  My son is on antibiotics right now and this is an added precaution to soothe his belly and protect it.


*****Fabulous tip*****

You don't have to invest in another kitchen gadget to make homemade yogurt.  There are many ways to make it.  Here is one I like.

Here is a picture of a new batch of yogurt being made in the crock pot.  I let mine ferment for 24 hours as recommended by the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) sites I have seen. Delicious!  Easy!  No extra gadget!!!!!!
I use 1/2 gallon whole milk in mine and was surprised to find that you can use store bought plain yogurt (1/2 cup) as a starter.  After you have made your yogurt, just keep 1/2 cup to start a new batch.  Easy...and cheap!


  I found the recipe here....http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-can-make-yogurt-in-your-crockpot.html
