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)

- 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.
