Strawberry-Banana-Yogurt Smoothie

I made an excellent breakfast smoothie this morning:

Blend in a blender:
1/2 cup plain, low-fat yogurt
1 fresh banana
6 large strawberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup of cranberry water*

This makes about one 16-oz. glass of creamy, pale pink smoothie. Delicious! If the smoothie tastes a little too tart–after all, it all depends on how ripe the banana and how sweet the strawberries are–, you may want to add a little agave nectar or very, very little stevia (sweetleaf) extract. If you're unfamiliar with stevia, please check it out. It's a great and healthy alternative to sugar.

*I make a quart of cranberry water to either sip on its own throughout the day or to use when blending juices and smoothies by mixing 28 oz. of water with 4 oz. of unsweetened cranberry juice.
