Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or other unsweetened milk
- 1 cup frozen blueberries do not thaw
- 0.5 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt

- 1 tbsp natural almond butter unsweetened
- 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract

Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. If you must store it, keep in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours; shake or stir vigorously before drinking as separation will occur. Make-Ahead: Pre-measure all dry ingredients (chia seeds, cinnamon) and freeze the blueberries in single-serve bags for quick assembly. Variations: Substitute blueberries with frozen raspberries or strawberries. Add a handful of spinach for extra nutrients without significantly altering the flavor. For more protein, add a scoop of unflavored protein powder.
