I'm sure many of you have probably had the Berry Smoothie from the Costco food court before they changed the recipe and renamed it to the Fruit Smoothie. It was arguably much better than the current smoothie. I've had enough. It's been too long since I had that smoothie and starting now, I am going to figure out how to re-create it. Not those BS copycat recipes you've seen online. I'm talking about the real deal.
Now yes, obviously I'm not going to buy a 10k+ machine that they have at the store. I'll find some alternative with ice and a blender or some other cheaper solution. The main thing is I want to find and utilize the mix they used to use. I remember seeing a post somewhere here on the subreddit (I can't find it anymore) of someone suggesting they used "Yocream Very Berry Soft Serve Sorbet Mix." One of the only places I can find that for sale is on amazon in a 6 pack case for 100$. Apparently DANNON makes it, but I can't find it anywhere on DANNON's website. So maybe it's discontinued? Anyways, I'm probably going to spend the 100$ on the case of this stuff and start experimenting at home. Before I do buy the mix, I'll leave this post for anyone to comment suggestions or for anyone that has any inside information they may want to share. Yes, I did see the reddit post with the ingredients of the old smoothie, but I can't find an image of the soft serve mix that shows the ingredients anywhere. So this will be a gamble.
I'm excited to see how this will go.
Hi, I was living in Pune earlier, and we got frozen berries/smoothie mixes almost at any “fancy” supermarket. However I can’t find any over here in Bombay. Are there any stores that sell them ? I’d just add the frozen mixes to some yogurt and I was good …. Can someone help me out ? :)

First off, some good news. I'm 99.9% sure that the "Yocream Very Berry Soft Serve Sorbet Mix" was the mix Costco used to use with their berry smoothies. I know this because I found the ingredients list from the old berry smoothie, Google searched it, and it returned the Yocream mix.
Now here's the issue. This product is discontinued. It says so on Dannon's site: https://www.yocream.com/flavors-nutrition.html#Ingredient_desk
Now with that Amazon listing I mentioned earlier, well, I tried ordering it. A day later I got an email saying it was out of stock. I tried to see if it was still in stock on other websites to no avail. Unless someone still has stock of this, I think this recreation attempt is stuck at a dead end. Bummer.

Looking to start making smoothies every morning for breakfast, thinking with some oats, chia, greens, fruits. I am (not deadly) allergic to berries and stone fruits like peaches. I also don’t drink milk but am ok with green yogurt. Would love any recipe recommendations for your favorite healthy and filling smoothies. Thanks!
