Made this for breakfast today. Next time, I'll add more banana, as I think that flavor was not as prominent as I would have liked. Nice, easy smoothie with good flavor.

This is probably one of my most favorite smoothies I've made, and I love the beautiful lavender color. I used an unfrozen banana, the strawberries, frozen blueberries, skim milk, nonfat vanilla yogurt, and omitted the vanilla extract because I added vanilla protein powder. I also used 8 ice cubes to make it colder and slushier. Delicious and only 2 Weight Watchers PointsPlus.

I thought this was a pretty good blueberry smoothy. I liked that it wasn't too sweet tasting. I doubled the recipe and got about 3 servings. I put leftover fruit in the freezer, so I used frozen strawberries and blueberries. I only had plain yogurt and not vanilla, and used that along with a packet of Truvia. For the milk I used 2%. I think the frozen berries, I used, made it nice and cold. I will make this again. Edit note: I tried it again, exactly as written using the vanilla yogurt suggested, while still using a fresh banana and frozen berries and it was very good to.

This was absolutely amazing! It replaces our favorite smoothie recipe from Disney we had been using for years. I did have to make two minor alterations based on what I had on hand. Our fruit was fresh so I added more ice cubes than what was called for in the recipe. Also, we had blueberry/pomegrante yogurt instead of vanilla. I couldn't tell much of a difference in taste as the flavor of the vanilla extract is what really comes through. To me it tasted similar to cotton candy, without being too sweet and without all the extra sugar. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

This was delicious! I had to leave out the strawberries and yogurt because I didn't have any. I also left out the ice and used light soymilk, it was great!

This is good, I love smoothies... :) I used plain yogurt and no vanilla extract. For those looking to add even more "healthy" to it, add walnuts (if not allergic to nuts) and instead of honey use (granulated like sugar) Stevia (not Truvia; use Stevia - health food stores). Also, to hull your strawberries, push a straw up through the bottom of the strawberry through the top and out. It should remove the top (or most of it) and hull your strawberry at the same time. :)

One of the main reasons I don’t generally care for yogurt smoothies is just that - too much yogurt. I’d rather eat a carton of yogurt with some fruit on the side. So what I particularly enjoyed about this smoothie was its lower proportion of yogurt relative to the amount of fruit. What really surprised me, however, is that Hubs agreed, and he does love his yogurt smoothies. I cut back on the vanilla just a tad, and sweetened it lightly with honey. My fruit was only partially frozen so I still used the ice cubes and was happy I did – this was nice and frosty cold. Beautiful color and good berry taste as this was not as heavy on the banana flavor as some smoothies including it can be.

Yummm ! I love that this recipe doesn't use juice. It's sooo good, which I attribute in large part to the vanilla extract. Delicioso !!

Excellent recipe. Made it for the 7 kids I was watching today and everyone gave it two thumbs up. My strawberries and blueberries were already frozen so I did not need to freeze the bananas or use ice cubes.
