I usually have a glass of red wine before bed every night. It’s a super end of the day treat for me. Also, after dinner, I usually have a little dessert of some kind. But with New Year’s resolutions rolling around, I needed to find a way to cut some calories. I crafted a wonderful Wine Smoothie from Yoplait light yogurt. This delectable sweet combines my usual dessert and wine into one late night treat. A Wine Smoothie is scrumptious for a late night, guilt free snack helping me to keep my New Year’s resolutions.

Never would of thought to pair wine and yogurt.
This looks good like to try this
A wine smoothie?! OMG You are officially my favorite blog now!!!

This wine smoothie is something i really would love to try and indulge in when relaxing. Never had a wine smoothie before either. Great way to enjoy a night at home. There creamy coffee drinkable yogurt recipe from Pinterest looks awesome as well.
You will adore it Nicole! The Chief Blonde
Now this is my kind of smoothie. Got to try the recipe out.
What a great idea. At first, I thought it sounded terrible. Now I’m wanting to try it!
I would have never thought of making a wine smoothie!! This is so going on my summer bucket list! Thanks for the recipe!!
I like this late night snack, and it can help you relax! How great is that?! I also yoplait yogurt so this is a no brained for me!
I love smoothies, but have never had a wine smoothie before! I will be trying this very soon! Can’t wait!
I heard drinking red wine at night can make you loose a few pounds. Don’t really know how true that is but I am not a wine drinker, but a smoothie maybe I will have to give this a try!
We are always making Yoplait Sundaes. Fresh fruit, light fat free whipped cream, a little granola for some crunch, and berries if we have them. It may not be too fancy but it sure is delicious and always so easy to throw together no matter what flavor of Yoplait we have around, and we always have some around. 🙂
Wine smoothie?! That sounds awesome. I’d take the Very Vanilla and add some chocolate chips, I like Patty’s suggestion.
What a great idea! I love how glamorous you made it look with the lovely glass too! Sounds delish! I love to mix vanilla yogurt with fresh berries and granola.
I really like the spiced hot chocolate recipe. Of course I don’t drink and can’t have greek yogurt so that was the only one I could pick!
Yum…this looks good! Great idea, Shelley!
oh you should try it Pam! I am hooked. Shelley
I must admit that I am not a big fan of yogurt – the hubby LOVES it though. For him I would probably take the blackberry and add some mini chocolate chips ’cause we all know that some dark chocolate is good for us, right?
Yes, Dark chocolate is the bomb!
Mine wouldn’t be very diet-friendly, lol! I would drizze the Boston Cream Pie with fudge sauce! Yum!
As the yogurt is only 90 calories, you could probably get in a good 60 calorie drizzle and keep it at 150 calories. Shelley
That is definitely happening then!
