Our mixed berry yogurt smoothie has just 100 calories per serving and is a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin C. It's easy to make and tastes delicious!

You can also use agave nectar or a sugar substitute. Now, it's time to blend until smooth and creamy. And voila! You have a delicious mixed berry yogurt smoothie ready to enjoy. A smoothie is a great way to incorporate more fruits and dairy into your diet. You can even add a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout snack.
