So I tried out this recipe today with a few modifications and it turned out to taste very watery and bland and just not appetizing. I halved the recipe to make 1 serving yet made enough to serve at least 4 people. I think it might've been the nonfat plain Greek yogurt that I used although I did follow a previous commenter's suggestion of using a plain yogurt then adding vanilla extract. I tried adding an overripe banana into it last minute to try and give it taste, to sweeten it up, but unfortunately it did nothing really...

I've made and thoroughly enjoyed this several times. :) My only change was to omit the ice cubes and - using fresh berries - to make this the night before. So easy then to grab it in a Tupperware container for a yummy, healthy breakfast on-the-run! Thank you for adding such a delicious smoothie to my list of smoothies made regularly. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.
