Choco-blackberry-banana smoothie

That's right, kids; I used my Magic Bullet for the first time today.

After reading through the instructions and the sample recipes, I threw together some ingredients I had on hand and came up with a pretty darn good smoothie. Here's the recipe, with nutritional info (because I love you).

Choco-Blackberry-Banana Smoothie (1 serving)

4 oz blackberry yogurt (Dannon Light 'n Fit)
1 banana (mine happened to be very ripe)
1/2 of 1.61 oz. Almond Joy bar
1 cup ice
3 T skim milk

I recommend spacing the ingredients out; what I did was put them in in the order listed above, which caused the ice to block the blades. I had to shake the cup and even stir the ingredients to get the Magic Bullet to process them.
