A couple of smoothie tips...

#1 - For those who don't like chewing on the blackberry seeds, try blending them with the yogurt for 30 seconds prior to adding the rest of the ingredients. The smoothie will still contain seeds, but many of the seeds will have been pulverized.

#2 - For people who can't have dairy, try using the alternative yogurts. There are many delicious non-dairy yogurts available now. My favorite is the almond yogurt and the coconut yogurt. Then for the "splash of milk" try using the alternative milks as well.
