Ingredients
1 cup frozen seedless black or purple grapes
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 medium green apple, peeled, cored, and diced
¾ to 1 cup milk
¼ cup plain greek yogurt
2 tsp granulated sugar

If you can’t find frozen seedless grapes, you can make your own by washing fresh grapes, drying them with paper towels and spreading them out on one layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer overnight. In the morning you will have frozen grapes. Store them in a sealable, freezer safe plastic bag.

In a blender, combine the frozen seedless grapes, frozen blueberries, diced green apple, ¾ cup of milk, Greek yogurt, and sugar. Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. 

If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add up to ¼ cup more milk and blend again. Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar.

To serve, pour the smoothie mix into a glass.. Add a small bunch of grapes to garnish along with a heart straw if you want it match the game photo. You can add a heart to the glass to really match it as well. Either way, enjoy your smoothie!
