I had to give this a lower rating because I did not care for the orange juice in the original recipe. However, once I had it with the fat free vanilla yogurt, I was hooked. I serve this at least twice a month to my non fruit or anything health-food-y eating husband. Other than the juice, the recipe is 100% perfect, including the honey and vanilla. My daughter does not care for the texture of the fruit, so I make hers with peanut butter and chocolate syrup. It's still better than a milkshake, and has the protein from the peanut butter,

This is a wonderful smoothie! I did take advise from others. I substituted with 1/2 orange juice and 1/2 low fat vanilla yogurt. I also left the honey out and added a few ice cubes. Yummm! Thanks Michelle!!

A bit too banana-y for me, I guess I was expecting a more fruity flavor. It was a bit bitsy for me as well--the blueberry skins were kinda hard. Might have been the brand I used. The texture was good and tasted ok for what I wasnt expecting.

I have been making a similar version of this for years. This was very good after a few small adjustments to make it a bit healthier! I used organic Agave instead of honey. I also added 1/2 scoop of vanilla soy protein instead of vanilla. Lastly, I added 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed.

I used unsweetened soya milk instead of juice, and it still turned out scrummy. My 8 yr old daughter like it too. It blended into a glorious mauve purple, but after a little while it went brown. I think this was because I didn't use frozen fruit, which I will try next time! Thank you!

Very yummy! I replaced the 1 cup oj for 1/2 cup blackberry yogurt and 1/2 cup milk. I also used mixed berries instead of blueberries. It was still purple! I reduced the vanilla to 1/2 teaspoon and added the tablespoon honey. I also added 4 ice cubes as my bananas weren't quite frozen. This only made two 8-12 oz servings.

Very good. Added honey, but skipped the vanilla. I should have doubled the recipe because it was gone with a few minutes of serving it!

I find that bananas are too sweet for me. I make a smoothie every morning using a frozen organic berry mix, skim milk, organic unsweetened yogurt(good bacteria), unsweetened organic cranberry juice(liver cleansing)with a few drops of the natural sweetener Stevia(no calories). Ive always been a breakfast skipper but this gives you fruit, and protein and steadies my blood sugar.

This smoothie was really good! I followed a few of the suggested changes and it came out great. My only suggestion would be to be aware of the serving size. When I saw this recipe I just quickly wrote it down on paper and didn't pay attention to the rest of the recipe details. First two mornings I made this it practically lasted me all morning to drink it all while at work until I realized what I was making was 5 servings!! Not exactly low-cal at that point! Nonetheless I adjusted and it was still really good.

Very good, but I'd change a few things: Honey is nasty, and takes away the bite of the oj; forget it. Vanilla doesn't add much. Forget it too. Add more blueberries...it's the purple monstrosity, not the mauve with purple chunks monstrosity. I'd make it again with these alterations.

YUM! I made this every morning this past week for breakfast. I need to go restock my ingredients because I have no plans to stop now! Just a hint to those who are rushed in the morning - take time to rinse your blender and your glasses right away otherwise the blueberries make a hard to clean mess if you wait! Thanks so much for this great healthy recipe. I already feel more energetic with this healthy start to my day.
