336 Black & Apple Freezie

Backstory: Time to make another juice. Recently bought a pineapple and was hoping to use it but settled on a quencher that would let me sample something with the frozen blackberries in the freezer.

Initial Thoughts Before Tasting: A bit of vanilla essence will be interesting.

Ingredients:
4 handfuls frozen blackberries
2 tablespoons natural yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence (used vanilla extract)
a few dashes apple juice (used somewhere between 1 and 1 1/2 cups of apple juice because the frozen blackberries create too thick a mixture and wouldn't blend)

Thoughts After Tasting: Tasty but I can't really pick up on the vanilla. Possibly too many blackberries overwhelmed the mixture. I'm not in a hurry to make this again.

Natalie Writes:
"a smooth vanilla undertone"

I wouldn't call the drink mixture and the vanilla undertone certainly didn't appear. Though I could see this having more potential if the ingredient amounts were played around with.

Cleaning: Pretty simple and quick wash of the blender. However, I'm concerned about the motor/blades as it seemed to get stuck a few times with the thick mixture of the frozen blackberries.

Star Rating: 2/5
