Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Shake

Pale purple and a little tart, with the flavor of blueberry lemon yogurt.

Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Shake

Blueberry and lemon is a reliable pair. The lemon juice brightens the sweet fruit, and the yogurt adds body. This is a good option for a hot morning when something heavy sounds unappealing.

  • ¾ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ½ scoop vanilla whey protein powder (about 30 g)
  • ¾ cup frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup skim milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp lemon zest

Method

  1. Add the milk, yogurt, protein powder, and lemon juice to the blender.
  2. Add the blueberries, honey, and lemon zest.
  3. Blend until smooth, about 45 seconds.
