Black Forest Blizzard

Runner’s World contributing chef Pam Anderson likes to fuel up before a run with this healthful smoothie made with Greek yogurt and chocolate soy milk.

Plain Greek yogurt has roughly twice the protein and half the sugar of plain traditional yogurt. Using a frozen banana instead of fresh helps chill the smoothie without ice and creates a creamy texture.

Instructions :

1: Combine the cherries, banana, soy milk or dairy milk, yogurt, honey or agave syrup, and almond extract in a blender.
2: Process until creamy smooth. Divide between 2 glasses. Top each with a portion of the wafers or graham crackers.
