1 cup low fat milk (or juice)
½ cup strawberry or blueberry Greek yogurt
1 frozen banana cut in chunks (see notes for swaps)
1½ cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
honey to sweeten optional

Instructions

Place ingredients in blender in the order written.
Process until smooth, adding a bit more milk or juice if smoothie is too thick to blend. Taste, and add a bit of honey if desired to sweeten.

Notes

Ingredients and Substitutions:

Milk or juice: any kind of milk or juice will work here. I often use a berry or cranberry juice if I have one, or low fat milk. Nondairy milk also works great, and for a fun twist you can use strawberry milk.
Yogurt: using strawberry or blueberry yogurt adds a bit of flavor and sweetness. You can opt for plain or vanilla if that's what you have, but I prefer a higher fat, creamy yogurt as it will give a creamy smoothie. Swap for frozen yogurt for an even creamier smoothie.
Banana: I know not everyone likes banana in smoothies but I find it's the easiest way to get a thick and creamy smoothie that's not icy. You can swap with about a cup of ice cubes if desired.
Berries: any berries work in here but I prefer to use a mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries -- a mix of sweet and tart is perfect.
