Foodie on a Budget- A Better Cherry Berry Chiller

I had a request this past week from one of my Twitter followers (who also happens to be very pregnant! ;) ) for a healthier version of McDonald's Cherry Berry Chiller.  I couldn't say no to the cravings of a pregnant woman!  So, I made the sacrifice and picked up a Cherry Berry Chiller from the McDonald's drive-thru.  As most of you probably know, I am not a fan of many things McDonald's.  The Cherry Berry Chiller was refreshing, but overly sweet.  After researching the ingredients on McDonald's website (click here to see them yourself), it was clear to me just why this summertime beverage was so sticky sweet.  Lots of juice concentrate.  
After some experimenting and tweaking (my first version was more berry than cherry), I think I have come up with a recipe that is healthier, but still just as tasty.  Well honestly, I think it is way tastier than it's fast food original. ;)

What you will need:

1/2 cup frozen raspberries

1 cup of frozen cherries, halved

1/2 cup crushed ice (I don't have one of those fancy fridges with the crushed ice setting, so I just took about 3-4 ice cubes, put them in a food storage bag, and pounded them with a meat mallet. ;) )

1 cup of low sugar apple juice (I used Old Orchard Healthy Balance.)

1 tsp honey

(This will make one medium sized chiller.)

Just toss in all the ingredients in a blender.

And blend until all ingredients are combined and smooth.  

And enjoy! :)
