Choose a Yogurt and Milk Smoothie for Energy

Milk provides the protein you need to stay energized and focused throughout the day. A natural source of four B vitamins–riboflavin, B-12, niacin, and pantothenic acid—milk has the fuel your body needs to stay energized. A yogurt and milk smoothie, especially one using Greek yogurt is great for energy.

Additionally, yogurt is a good source of high-quality protein, which keeps you feeling full longer, provides energy to fuel your day, and helps muscles recover. With those benefits and its versatility in the foods you love, it is an easy choice to bring more yogurt to your meals. 

Bring the power of these two dairy foods together in tasty smoothies that will keep you energized for your busy day ahead. Below are three smoothies you can choose from this winter for balanced nutrition and energy throughout the holiday season. 

Yogurt and Milk Smoothies

Chocolate Comfort Sipper Smoothie 

Both the yogurt and the chocolate milk in this warm chocolate beverage contribute high-quality protein to the drink. You can combine the ingredients and store them in the refrigerator and then heat in the microwave just before serving. 

In a blender, combine chamomile tea, chocolate yogurt, chocolate milk, cocoa powder and sugar. Cover and puree until frothy. Pour into three large microwave-safe mugs. Heat each mug in a microwave on high for 40 seconds or until a frothy foam begins to rise. The chocolate milk helps replenish muscle protein, meaning you can recover and recharge with this sweet choice. 

Dragon Fruit Superfood Smoothie 

This exotic fruit is not only beautiful in color when ripe, but it’s packed with plenty of essential nutrients. Pair it with high-quality protein from real milk and Greek yogurt and you’ve got a smoothie that is sure to refuel and replenish post-workout! 

Combine milk, Greek yogurt, dragon fruit chunks, banana slices, pitted dark cherries, and maple syrup in the blender. Blend until smooth. Serve immediately. 

Strawberry Smoothie with Yogurt and Milk 

This protein-packed smoothie is perfect for breakfast or for a post-workout refuel. With 8 grams of complete protein per 8-ounce serving, milk helps you build muscle, stay active, and recover. 

Combine milk, frozen strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth and frothy.
