RASPBERRY SMOOTHIE

 I

I bought some fresh raspberry and thought my children will love it, but I was wrong, they don't and that left me with a problem to utilise the berries. The berries were quite sourish and all I can think of were tarts, smoothie and some decoration on cakes. I can said that these berries made a great smoothie. I blended with banana and orange juice and it was fantastic.

• 1 cup orange juice
