Raspberry and Strawberry Smoothie

Here's a great summer cooler from Hayden!

You'll need:

About 10 pieces of ice
A handful of raspberries
4-6 strawberries
A Yoplait strawberry yogurt
About 2 cups of orange juice
A spoonful of sugar
A blender

1) Put the ice in the blender
2) Put the raspberries and strawberries in the blender on top of the ice
3) Put the yogurt on the fruit
4) Put about 2 cups of orange juice in
5) Blend
6) If the smoothie isn't thick enough then add about 4 more ice cubes. If the
smoothie won't blend, try adding more orange juice and shaking the blender. (Make
sure you have the top on securely!!!!) Add a spoonful of sugar (and no more, or the
smoothie is WAY too sweet!)
7) Blend

This will serve probably 3 people. If you double it, make it twice or the blender
might overflow!

I learned this recipe from my older sister and I added some stuff.
