Very good! I used greek yogurt because it was all I had. It was really thick, so I added a splash of orange juice to thin it!

To use up what I had, I used frozen blackberries, fresh blueberries and fat free raspberry yogurt. Instead of ice, I added some peach juice so it wasn't as thick (for my husband). It was delicious but rated 4 because of the blackberry seeds.

Almost like mine. But I cook the blackberries and raspberries to soften and put through a strainer to remove the seeds and have a puree. Freeze 1st until they are ice cubes and only use 1/2 banana. I use organic cane sugar instead of honey if needed, because I'm not a honey fan. If it is too thick I add some V8 fusion Goji raspberry or Acai raspberry juice. That juice also adds some veggies to it as well. The puree and some fresh crushed berries also works when making a yogurt parfait with whole grain granola cereal and walnuts. 1 layer of yogurt your choice 1 layer crushed fruit and the a little puree. Again your choice of fruit 1 layer cereal and walnuts. Repeat until the glass of your choice is full.

Good, but the seeds are a problem and a little heavy on banana. I substituted 1/2 cup strawberries and 1 cup blueberries for the blackberries and raspberries, and only used 1/2 banana. Still had some seeds, but not nearly as many. It was great.

I'm allergic to bananas and didn't have any blackberries. I otherwise made the recipe as stated and was pleased with the results. It's tasty and refreshing!

Except for the blackberry seeds, this was a really good smoothie. I'm not a huge fan of just straight-up berries, but the banana and yogurt muffled the berries the exact right amount.

Good and healthy, but seeds were too big. Better if you run it through a sieve, then chill.

I have a Vitamix, so that pretty much took care of the seed problem but I can see how this would be an issue without this workhorse of a blender. So I'm not so sure blackberries, with their huge seeds, are the best choice for smoothies. The flavor was good, but we found the banana just a little distracting for a "Raspberry Blackberry Smoothie." I used frozen berries, so the ice cubes weren't necessary, but a little milk to thin it out was.
