Ingredients
- 6 ounces (3/4 cup) plain Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese or milk
- 1/2 ripe banana, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup frozen berries, your choice
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- Ice as needed, for thickness
Directions
- Add all ingredients in the order listed to a blender and blend until smooth.
