Berry Smoothies

These smoothies have the potential to be extremely low-calorie, and they taste really, really good. We made them for dessert, but they can work easily for a mid-morning, mid-afternoon, late-night or (and this is Alex's favorite meal of the day) pre-breakfast snack. Making smoothies is more of an art than a science, so don't worry about exact measurements. Just throw the ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Ingredients:
2 cups frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup ice
1 cup non/low fat vanilla yogurt (we used Dannon's light and fit)
100% fruit juice (we used Dole's berry blend)
2 tbsp honey

Instructions:
Put frozen fruit and ice into the blender, add yogurt. Pour in juice until it is comes about 1/2 way up the fruit/ice/yogurt mixture. Add honey, blend.
