Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie

From the Catherine Bennett Dunster collection

Introduction

Fruits vary in potassium and magnesium content, but combining yogurt with bananas makes for a great base. Utilize what’s seasonal — blueberries, strawberries, peaches — when possible; otherwise substitute frozen fruits.

Ingredients

Steps

1. Place all ingredients in blender and blend well. Pour into glasses and enjoy. Leftovers? Pour into popsicle molds for treats.

Notes

The freezer is your friend: Cut overripe bananas into chunks and keep them on-hand in your freezer. Freeze seasonal berries to use throughout the year in smoothies.
