Refreshing Berry and Yogurt Smoothie

This refreshing berry and yogurt smoothie is the perfect way to start your day or cool off on a hot afternoon. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and nutritious smoothie that will keep you satisfied for hours.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and easy way to get my daily dose of fruits and vegetables. I had some plain yogurt in the fridge, and I was browsing through my freezer when I came across a bag of frozen berries. I thought, "Why not combine the two?" and the rest is history.

Prep time: 5 | Cook time: 0 | Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 banana, frozen and sliced
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of ground cinnamon
• Ice cubes, as needed

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine yogurt, berries, banana, almond milk, honey (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a handful of ice cubes.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more ice cubes as needed to reach desired consistency.
3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Why It Works

• The yogurt provides a creamy base for the smoothie, and the berries add a tart and refreshing flavor.
• The banana adds sweetness and creaminess, and the almond milk helps to thin out the smoothie.
• The honey adds a touch of sweetness, and the vanilla extract and cinnamon add depth of flavor.
• The ice cubes help to make the smoothie cold and refreshing.
