Cran-Raz Smoothie


12 ounces cranberry juice (choose the no sugar added, or 'light' kind)
1 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 large scoop light raspberry sherbet (use non-fat frozen yogurt if you want)
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/2 cup crushed ice

Throw all ingredients into the blender...and blend until smooth (or your desired consistency). You can interchange ingredients as long as the liquid/solid ratios are mostly the same. For example: use orange juice instead of cranberry juice, toss in half a banana, and use frozen peaches instead of blueberries.
These types of smoothies are low-fat and good for you, but keep in mind drinking Jamba-sized portions can make the calories add up (although drinking a huge portion is definitely better then a big mac and fries). I recommend drinking a 12 ounce portion of this and maybe a handful of almonds, or half a bagel with light cream cheese for easy breakfast on-the-go.
