Recipe Wednesday: Banana Berry Wake-Up Shake

Makes 2 servings

This creamy shake, which can be made the night before, is a great way to use up ripe bananas that have been frozen. When bananas start to get brown, pop them in the freezer and take out as needed.

Ingredients

1              banana                                                      1 

1 cup     fresh or frozen berries (any combination)  250 mL

1 cup     milk or vanilla-flavored soy beverage      250 mL

3/4 cup lower-fat vanilla yogurt (or other flavor that complements berries)                                                                    175 mL

Instructions

Step 1

In a blender, liquefy fruit with a small amount of the milk. Add remaining milk and yogurt; blend until smooth. If shake is too thick, add extra milk or soy beverage to achieve desired consistency.
