Berry Cherry Groovy Smoothie

This is a recipe my 5 year old found and requested that we make.  It turned out really delicious!

Serves: 2

Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1/2 cup fresh or frozen pitted Bing cherries
1/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup low-fat yogurt (plain works great!)
strawberry and raspberry for garnish (optional)

Directions:
1. Place the fruit in the base of a blender. Add the juice and yogurt.
2. Blend on low, stopping the blender to stir if necessary, until smooth.  Increase to high for several seconds.
3. Divide the mixture between two glasses and top with fresh fruit.

Kitchen Tip: Buy frozen fruit for the smoothie.  The fruit will be ripest and you won't need any ice cubes for a nice thick smoothie.
