A frozen pellet for blending with other ingredients to make a smoothie is formed of a sugar sweetened yogurt or yogurt formulation diluted with water and frozen solid at temperatures between 0° F. and 32° F. The frozen-solid yogurt pieces eliminate the need for the use of ice in the smoothie making process. Instead the frozen-solid yogurt pieces simply are blended together with fruits, preferably also frozen, and a liquid such as a juice, soda or milk to make a cold smoothie having a desirable thick consistency. |
