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.

Sounds yummy, but if you want to cut the grams of sugar, switch to plain yogurt and add more berries (you’ll also get more fiber). Just a thought, since you were commenting on cutting calories/healthier desserts. But heck, if you want to keep it the same as above, I don’t care!
this sounds yummy thanks for sharing
Yes, Sounds awesome! I would jazz up up the Boston cream pie, by putting in vanilla wafers!
This recipe is absolutely amazing can’t wait to try it!!!
got together with my sister last night and we made these…….. so so wonderful
I am glad you loved the recipe Gloria! The Chief Blonde
OMG this I never ever would have thought of!!! What a GREAT IDEA and YES I am going to makes these
My does this smoothie sound delicious! My Husband and I are both having trouble sleeping lately!! Maybe if we each had 1 of these before going to bed it would relax us enough to fall asleep and stay asleep! Thankyou so much for sharing your awesome recipe with us!
I think this is such a great recipe especially for summer. Today is Strawberry Rhubarb Wine day, and this would be a fun recipe to celebrate with. Mix it up with Strawberry Yoplait yogurt and frozen rhubarb for the fruit or use rhubarb wine for your red wine. This has so many options.
MMMMMM. Sherry, that sounds fabulous (I love Rhubarb…it’s a lost taste) Shelley
Fun ways of jazzing it up. How can you go wrong with adding wine?! 🙂 Today jazz up ice cream, too. It’s Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day!
This looks pretty good and a nice way to enjoy wine. I’ll have to try it.
Wow! This is really great, a wine smoothie! I would have never thought of this in a million years, very creative!
We’ve had yogurt snacks and even yogurt smoothies but not with wine. Great way to liven it up. You can play with flavors for many different tastes, too.
Now this is an interesting smoothie recipe. I will definitely have to try this one. Thanks for sharing, I am glad I found this recipe.
I need one of those wine smoothies right now.
I’m not a big fan of wine, but I LOVE yogurt. Maybe this would be a good way for me to introduce some wine into my life! Looks great!
Oh yummy! I think I just found my new smoothie drink :), I am glad its do easy to
make, I will be trying this out soon, and I also love that you get to add fresh fruit to this.
This sounds delicious for a late night snack. I can get my yogurt and wine in all at once. Both of these are suppose to be good for me. thanks for the information. Red wine with very vanilla yogurt is one I would make
OMG! Who ever thought of putting yogurt and wine together – truly inspirational (or perhaps a little tipsy). I think I might have to try this just to say I did!
I will be using this recipe. Sounds delicious.
The very Vanilla I would add amerto Liqucor(sp)
