Bursting with Berries Morning Shake Recipe

Here’s a simple, repeatable breakfast shake that you can count on for delivering big on antioxidant-boosting berries along with probiotic-rich yogurt.

If you want to keep it bright pink, make it as is—but if you don’t mind muting the color a bit, add in a handful of baby spinach or kale to pack in extra fiber, beta-carotene, and vitamin K. (You’ll see it, but not taste it—promise!)

Serves: 2 (makes 2 1⁄2 cups)

Ingredients:

• 1⁄2 frozen banana
• 1 cup frozen raspberries or strawberries
• 1 cup whole milk, oat milk, or nut milk
• 1⁄2 cup plain yogurt
• Splash pure vanilla extract
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 cup baby spinach or kale (optional)

Directions:

1. In a personal blender, blend the banana, berries, milk, yogurt, vanilla, honey or syrup, and greens (if you’re using) until completely smooth and frothy; pour into a chilled glass, and enjoy.
