Now that the FDA is recommending we eat 2 cups of fruit every day, this is an easy and tasty way to get most of the requirement met! Kefir is cultured lowfat milk (similar to yogurt) but is lower in sugar and higher in protein than either skim milk or yogurt. Kefir can usually be found in most healthy grocery stores or in organic sections of grocery stores. It's also pourable and easier to add than yogurt. You can substitute plain yogurt for the Kefir and sugar for the Splenda. You may also use fresh berries, but frozen fruit is generally cheaper and makes the smoothie more icy and like a shake. My kids (1 and 8) and hubby love this smoothie!

I was looking for a way to get some more dairy in my diet without including any milk. Starting with a recipe that my daughter uses and going from there I came up with the following: the first one I made did not have any sweeteners and it was a bit tart, so next time I used about 3/4 of a teaspoon of honey. I am calling for using an unsweetened mixed berry blend, but I can't wait to try different fruits.*Update: When I used a mixture of mango and strawberries I did not need the honey
