Blueberry Smoothie

Fruits to my hubby are like how chocolate is to me and frankly , is it for real ? I wonder about this mystery very often . Ok , I like fruits but not as  much as chocolate but my hubby is  addicted to fruits , he just loves it and I am bothered by it . Once we both went on a diet of just fruits and vegetables  and while I was struggling with it , he was so happy and cheerful that I wanted to throw the big watermelon I was cutting at him . He had such a great time doing that diet and rubbing my nose in it so  never again will I ever do that mistake of taking up that diet with him ever again , never ....never...ever...never.

Anyways this post is dedicated to him coz he loves all things which contain fruits . This smoothie is pretty easy to make and also even prettier to look at so here goes...........

INGREDIENTS

2 cups blueberries
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup skimmed yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup milk

METHOD

Blend the blueberries with 1 tbsp of sugar and lemon juice and divide between 2 tall glasses or 4 small glasses.
Blend the rest of the ingredients .
Pour this mixture over the blueberry juice and do not mix it , you will get the swirls as you pour the milk-yoghurt mix.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
