Tangy Berry Smoothie Recipe

I am an official ambassador for Dole Fresh Fruits and Vegetables. I recieved free samples of Dole products for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, my opinion remains my own.

This Summer The Dole Get Up and Grow Caravan is making an 11,700-mile, 115-day journey across North America in order to inspire people to make 2015 their healthiest and happiest summer EVER! By September they will have stopped at 480 supermarkets and special events throughout the US and Canada. Not only will they be handing out free samples at a DIY smoothie bar and more, but they will also be challenging local residents to eat better this summer to receive some exciting health and wellness rewards. In honor of the tour, I created this delicious Tangy Berry Smoothie features lots of fresh fruit, healthy yogurt and a bit of juice! YUM!
