Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Add the almond milk, Greek yogurt and vanilla to the blender.
  2. Add the frozen berries, ground flaxseed and honey, if using.
  3. Blend on high until thick and smooth, about 60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
  4. Taste, adjust sweetness, and serve right away.

Notes

Tips & swaps
  • Use ground flaxseed, not whole seeds. Your body can’t absorb the nutrients from whole flaxseeds.
  • Frozen is best. Frozen berries are picked ripe, cost less than fresh, and make the smoothie thick without watering it down with ice.
  • Make it a bowl: use 1/2 cup milk instead of 1 cup and top with granola, sliced banana and a sprinkle of seeds.
