Ingredients

• 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
• 1 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened sliced peaches
• 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
• 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
• Dash ground cinnamon

Directions

• If desired, set aside a few strawberry slices for garnish. Place the remaining berries in a blender; add peaches, yogurt and sugar. Cover and process until smooth.
• Pour into chilled glasses; sprinkle with cinnamon. Garnish with the reserved berries. Yield: 2 servings.

**When I made this, I used all frozen fruit.  I had to add a little milk to thin it.  I also used BaNilla (banana/vanilla) yogurt.  It was REALLY good.  I think it was the dash of cinnamon that made the difference!
