Ingredients
6 fl oz frozen grape juice
1 cup cold water
⅓ cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup ice
Directions
Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water before beginning.
Add the frozen grape juice, cold water, nonfat dry milk powder, vanilla extract, and ice to a blender or food processor.
Secure the lid firmly on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. If the drink is too thick, add more water or ice as desired.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately while cold and thick.
Comments
This smoothie scores well on availability and cost: grape juice, water, milk powder, and vanilla extract are staples at any Charlotte grocery chain, and ice is free. At roughly 60 cents per serving, it's genuinely cheap. The five-minute claim is honest—it's just a blend. The real strength is household fit: it's a quick breakfast or snack that requires zero fussing, needs no stove, and works for kids or adults, though milk powder can clump if not whisked in first, which the recipe should mention. Leftovers don't apply since it's meant to drink fresh, and there's nothing seasonal about it, which is fine for a basic smoothie.
