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.

I’d like the Irish Cream hack. Could add an extra touch of vanilla to it.
Wow! I never realized you could make a low calorie drink/snack like this – thanks for the recipe!
I also love yogurt popsicles! Yummy and lowfat.
! never thought of making a wine smoothie, but it looks delicious. I’m definitely trying it.
Thank you for sharing all of these lowfat and yummy recipes for us.
Love these ideas! So simple yet so fun. My daughter-in-law would like the grasshopper…a great way to make them healthier. We usually just eat our yogurt with fruit, but these are wonderful ways to make them different and get a nice treat for you.
Yum, I’d like to try the Spiced Hot Chocolate yogurt cup. When it comes to yogurt or ice cream my go to flavor is chocolate. Thank you for sharing this post.
I always have Yoplat yogurt on hand and eat it almost daily. What I do to jazz them up is to mix them with fresh sliced fruit. Usually strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and raspberries. Delicious!
Hubby and I sometimes have yogurt a couple hours before bed. Once in a while we have a glass of wine a couple hours before bed….haha…I never thought to combine them and now hubby will get a surprise smoothie!!! Thanks for sharing.
OOOH wine smoothies sound so great, thank you for sharing this with us 🙂
I am not a wine drinker. But, I will happily pass this recipe on to my sister, and my mother, who would find this truly delicious!!!
Wow, the White Russian made with Yoplait Yogurt looks good. Just a little Vodka and Coffee Liquour added to the Vanilla Yogurt is a simple recipe.
I am not a wine drinker except for maybe the very sweet reds. This doesnt sound too terribky bad thohg. I miht give it a try althohgh wine gives me headaches.
My snack is about a cup of cheerios. I dont know why!
I never though about mixing wine with yogurt and this does make a great smoothie with the berries
Yum, the raspberry cheesecake flavor would be amazing in a smoothie!
OMGOSH!! Where has this been all my life!?!?! Pinning for later because I am trying this asap!! Yummo!!!
What a cool idea. I never thought to use, uh, processed grapes, in my smoothies. 🙂
Wow! Never thought of this and can’t wait to try and pass it on. Easy to do and so many flavors you could get creative with.
