Ingredients

For the smoothie:

• 8 ounces plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or other low-fat milk or non-dairy alternative)

For topping:

• ½ banana, sliced
• ¼ cup fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon slivered or sliced almonds

Instructions

For the smoothie:

Combine yogurt, blueberries, and almond milk in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour or scoop into a bowl.

For topping:

Top smoothie with bananas, raspberries, chia seeds, and almonds. You can arrange the toppings in a line, in a smiley face, or however you choose. Serve.

MOBE kitchen tip:

• Greek yogurt makes for a thicker smoothie than regular yogurt, so it’s perfect for holding the toppings on the surface of this smoothie bowl.

Recipe notes:

• Freeze the other half of the banana for use in our other great recipes. Blend it into our Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie or Chocolate Peanut Butter Frozen Dessert. Or slice it up for Toast, Two Ways.
• If you don’t have fresh raspberries, feel free to substitute frozen raspberries.
