Cocoa Berry VitaShake
by Sharon Farnsworth
In a blender combine:
INGREDIENTS:
1 banana
2 pkg. VitaShake
2 pkg. Quinary Powder
2 c. berry juice. Aronia berry is my favorite; apple juice is also good.
1/4 to 1/2 c. frozen berries. I use a blend of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and Marion berries.
2 c. Fortune Delight or just fill the blender until full.
Sometimes I add one or two ice cubes. More ice can be added for a slush.
This can be enjoyed as a delicious drink, or you may put it in the freezer for about
an hour (in small cups) and eat with a spoon. It makes a wonderful dessert or special
treat.
