Romantic Lilac Yogurt Smoothie

Grapes, a "super fruit", is the main ingredient of this smoothie.  Resveratrol, a phytonutrient present in the grapes skin, improves the function of our blood vessels, thus promotes better cardiovascular health.  Grape seeds contain super antioxidant compound - Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPC).  Consuming grapes may also alleviate the pain of knee osteoarthritis.

So, eat the whole grape, don't spit out the skin or seeds!  The best way to enjoy eating this whole fruit, is to blend it.  However, diabetics drink this smoothie in moderation.
