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.
Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup frozen dark sweet cherries
- 1 frozen banana cut into chunks
- 1 cup chocolate soy milk or low-fat chocolate milk
- ¼ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 4 Famous Chocolate Wafers or chocolate graham crackers crumbled
Instructions
- Combine the cherries, banana, soy milk or dairy milk, yogurt, honey or agave syrup, and almond extract in a blender.
- Process until creamy smooth. Divide between 2 glasses. Top each with a portion of the wafers or graham crackers.
