Berrylicious Morning Smoothie

Benefits of this healthy morning treat:

• The flavonoids in berries are being linked to more benefits all the time. In fact, the flavonoids found in blueberries and strawberries, for example, are shown to help prevent weight gain!
• Greek yogurt is heavily strained so the liquid whey and lactose is mostly removed, causing a very tangy taste. The ones with vanilla in them – so tasty!
• Live, active cultured yogurt is great for gut health, including immune function!
• Bananas are filling and full of potassium!
