Here's how you make it:

1. Put the frozen fruit and yogurt into a blender. Add a splash of juice, to taste.
2. Blend, scraping down sides when necessary, until it's smooth and creamy. You can add more juice as you blend, too, until it's as thick or thin as you like it.
3. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
