Ingredients
 

  • ¾ cup milk of choice , cow’s milk, soy milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ ripe banana
  • ¾ cup nonfat or low-fat plain or flavored-Greek yogurt , single-serve container, no added sugar
  • 1 heaping cup fresh or frozen berries, blueberries, blackberries, sliced strawberries
  • 3 to 5 ice cubes if using fresh berries, (skip ice if using frozen berries)

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth and frothy. Add an extra splash of milk if it’s too thick to puree.

Notes

• Look for a berry- or vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt without added sugar. I like Oikos Triple Zero and Too Good & Co., which are each sweetened with stevia.
• The nutrition information is based on almond milk.
