Chocolate Razz Banana Smoothie


Since my recent postings about the Greek Yogurt I've come to find soooo many uses for this miracle treat! LOL While this is a short but sweet post, it does share one of my absolute favorite smoothies I've created to date!


This creamy chocolaty treat is made extra special with Kefir. I love the low fat version and happened to grab some raspberry. I figured why not give it a try. Raspberries are in season, chocolate covered razzies seem to be the craze around our local "chocolatiers" and this inspired my creation.


Chocolate Razz Banana Smoothie
Serves: 1
  • 1/2 medium banana, frozen
  • 1/2 cup raspberry Kefir (low fat)
  • 1/4 cup fat free vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 ice cube (crushed) - my fridge gives crushed ice so I estimate about 1 cube
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons chocolate syrup
Simply blend ingredients until smooth and pour! Delicious, creamy, chocolaty treat!

I had Chobani Greek Yogurt (not an organic yogurt) and to be  honest I don't think it's nearly as creamy as the Oikos Greek Yogurt by Stonyfield. I also think Oikos is creamier and a bit sweeter too, it's just my personal preference.  The Kefir does give it a little tangy taste & I'm sure you could mix up the flavors! I'm anxious to see what other low fat Kefir is out there!

Wish me luck on my journey to "eating clean" and  healthy! 
And please feel free to comment and share ideas for trying to live and eat "clean"!
